Near miss in future NOTES FROM THE FUTURE review
The critic assesses a translated Soviet future tale about anabiosis and immortality. It fails as a novel due to a weak lead and dense technical detail, yet offers intriguing ideas on science and cybernetics, space travel, and immortality from a pioneering Soviet surgeon.

Canberra tourism and the limits of sightseers in Australia
A nostalgic critique of Canberra's tourist scene contrasts a growing visitor appetite with narrow access to sights. It recalls War Memorial as a landmark and describes encounters with politicians like Bob Menzies and the Lodge's closed gates, noting many attractions are viewable only from outside and dinner visits reveal little beyond walls and guards.

Storm’s price and power in The Rain Maker by Jack Cope
Review notes Cope’s novel set in Natal follows Daba the Rain Maker and Kaleb as drought and ambition test a Zulu valley. Saul and Claudia seek education and love while Priscilla returns with city manners. The work frames tradition, longing, jealousy, and a broader message on Bantustan policy amid tropical drama.
