Doorways in the Sand
by Roger Zelazny (Harper & Row, 1976)
audiobook read by Andrew J. Andersen (Trantor, 2024)
A near-future SF runabout with a veneer of mystery and dollops of humour. Career student (and serial acrophile) Fred Cassidy proves a welcome departure from the usual hardboiled protagonists of such stories. Still, there’s a sense here of Zelazny just dawdling along.
