The Wet and the Dry

Osborne reveals on page one that he is a drinker. A big drinker. Possibly an alcoholic. And his people are also all big drinkers. Possibly alcoholics.

So where does this big drinker (possibly alcoholic) decide to go? Spots on Earth where people are forbidden to drink.

A bit baffling as to why this choice of travel venues, but it makes for a tense, brilliantly written story. The stories Osborne shares along the way that are inspired by the venues are also tense and brilliantly written.

An unexpected delight.
