Summary

Welcome to Unspace Eric Sanderson wakes up in a place he doesn't recognise, unable to remember who he is. All he has left are journal entries recalling Clio, a perfect love now gone. So begins a thrilling adventure that will send Eric and his cynical cat Ian on a search for the Ludovician, the force that is threatening his life, and Dr Trey Fidorus, the only man who knows its secrets.

Davenport’s reading was excellent!!

Great reading, interesting story but a bit hard to understand. A lot of visual descriptions that was hard to get, but overall a good reading.

so much cut

I realised it was an abridged performance but so much was cut that it lost the flare, wit and genius of the original book. I really wanted an unabridged version but its not available on Audible

A romance with some sci fi bits

Was alright, felt like a kid’s book at times except with cringy love plot over everything. The surreal bits were good but id rather just read a Borges short story tbh
