Who Goes Here?

I bought and read the paperback in 1979, and commented in my diary that it was “quite good really. A bit Sheckley-ish.”

The paperback then sat forgotten among my other books until I decided to try it again in 2024. It is quite good really. The story is imaginative, exciting, and frequently surprising. It's a short novel and not an award-winner, but it makes an entertaining ride. For me, it's let down a bit by the ending, which is not really bad but seems a bit frivolous. It's hard to end a novel in a way that will satisfy everyone.

The Kindle edition, which I now have, also contains a short story, “The Gioconda Caper”, which is frankly frivolous, but quite amusing. It's not in any way related to “Who Goes Here?”.
