My favourite quote from the first few chapters; “I’m not even tone deaf, that’s the arse-mothering, fuck-nosed, bugger-sucking wank of the thing. I’m not even tone fucking deaf. I’m tone DUMB.” (I do love an eloquent expletive rant from Fry).

Disappointing climax

You could tell it was written by ChatGPT
2 stars
Nice idea to experiment with this concept but it’s clearly too early to use with such a standard formulaic style that’s so predictable.

Si Jobling reviewed Teleport by Joshua T. Calvert
Gripping but lacks some detail
3 stars
I love a plot like this, mixing up global crisis with space travel, and the characters lend towards a classic relationship dynamic growing but it feels like some crucial detail is skipped over. Far too many silly typos also suggest minimal editorial review.
