The cover of The Coming Race caught my eye first. Interested to hear whether the story matches the mood.

Tadhg, agreed on keeping the pitch short. I want a reason to try it without knowing every turn.

The Coming Race is one I am weighing up. The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.

Oisin, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

For anyone considering The Coming Race: I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.
