I have fond memories of Shadowmind. I remember, at the time, it wasn’t particularly well received but I found it an easy, enjoyable read. A lot of the New Adventures around this time were trying really hard to be weighty, gritty and grown up but Christopher Bulis (an unfairly maligned author, in my opinion) just seemed to want to write a pacy, fun read.

That said, I read this around 30 years ago so my memories are probably not to be trusted.

I tried reading this years ago and didn’t finish it, which is unsurprising considering my more recent experiences with the omnipresent Christopher Bulis have been… unpleasant.

There was something about slugs, bombs that looked like hard boiled sweets and another writer forcing in a way to get Ace naked, so I’m not particularly disappointed I never finished this one.

I read this one a few months ago. Did not have fun. I don’t think it was actively bad, it was just so, so boring…
