Today I received a copy Lost on Mars in the post. I read the first couple of chapters on the train on the way home from work (having just finished reading Grinny earlier). Then I sat down to catch up with your videos (sorry, I’m a bit behind!) and I discovered that not only were you talking about the same book, but reading the very same chapters. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy. The mixture of Little House on the Prairie with golden age science fiction intrigues me.
Hi Paul! I recently discovered your channel. I am enchanted by your style and love of books. I'm Brazilian, but I've been studying English for some time. I'm happy because I found your work. It will help me a lot in this new adventure.
im liking the sound of this. A domestic/survival trilogy on Mars is something I've wanted for a very long time, i think. This shall certainly be read at some point
A bit like the Martian Chronicles crossed with Little House on the Prairie , perhaps🤔 I've read the first book, and I've yet to read the following two... I'll get there 😉 x
I've read the Lora books - I got them as they came out. They fit very well in the broad tradition of Mars as a place humans go to, and especially the mysterious Martian civilisation that lurks just out of reach. I like the well-observed relationships within the family (especially Lora and Al) - there's no love quite like the love of family, and if that love curdles into hate it is so all-powerful. The first book is largely a journey from a rural life to an urban one, on strange highways and byways; the second is that journey in reverse with a new understanding from the lessons of the first, all the strange things on the journey out are newly strange again. The final book's journey is new but probing ancient history that influences how Mars is. I wasn't new to your writing, but this wasn't another strange romp with Iris or Brenda, it was something new and rich and strange. I loved it as I read it, and it's curled up comfortably in my memory still.
Oh, I loved what you read and the characters are very interesting. I need to order them, the covers are wonderful! Still waiting to receive Dr. Who in Wonderland. Have fun this week at your event! Jerome has worked so hard to organize everything he must be exhausted. Take time to rest up…..take care and sending pets to Socks❤❤❤
unrelated, but ive just finished "Doctor Who in Wonderland" (why is the title on the inside pages "In Wonderland" when as far as i know you always refer to it as "Doctor Who in Wonderland"?) and i thought ur was utterly fantastic and hilarious, in quite the alician/carrollian way. Have you read "The Annotated Alice"? I've started it
I’m so bummed that Amazon decided that instead of delivering me my copy of your latest Dr. Who book today they are postponing delivery until November 12. :(. Maybe because I’m in the United States, or maybe some production delay. Sad. I did acquire your Lost on Mars trilogy recently!

These books sound like something my Dad would love. That's his Christmas sorted 😄

Kudos, Paul! I just found your channel, and you made a great day even better! Cheers, from near Boston!

Just ordered the first book. Looking forward to reading.
Did a part of you also really like being able to have the double meaning of “The Mars Trilogy” (/ The Magrs trilogy) 🙂

Apocalypse in my world at the moment between Artaud and Manamas has gone a little Orphic.

I'm in Australia and same problem. I bought a brand new copy through World Of Books.
Mine also, not until Nov. 12. Also in the U.S.
