The Dark Side of the Sun
by Terry Pratchett (Colin Smythe, 1976); audiobook read by Stephen Briggs (Isis, 2007)
Pre Discworld, pre Hitchhiker’s, Pratchett’s first (unrewritten) novel is a SF not-quite-comedy, rich in exotic detail and soaring with wild concepts… albeit not quite going anywhere. It is a tantalising glimpse into a universe where Pratchett parodied the future, not the present.
