I randomly picked this on up in a used book store years ago, had no idea who Barrington J. Bayley was, and it seems I wasn't alone as I've never seen anyone mention this book or much about this author.
It is a short but enveloping book. A man wanders out of the forest of Peldain, a forest long avoided for its denseness and danger, claiming that a secret kingdom lies in the center of the forest.
As expedition is organized to enter the forest, and what follows is a terrific if short science fiction piece.
The cover indicates that this is crap fantasy, but it isn't, more science fiction in nature.
Must read if you can actually find a copy.
9.0/10
