034- Alien Night, by Thomas N. Scortia, 1957
Wherein every single trope rears its head in the space of about 12 hours...
Ruiz Tremello & Marguerite are lost somewhere on the Mongolian Steppe, near Buckinghamshire, and discussing Thomas N. Scortia's 1957 novella, "Alien Night".
This one is a personal fave of Ruiz, who considers it probably the most inconsistent (or surprising?) narrative he's read in years, though it's also a lot of fun.
Ruiz & Marguerite have been absent for over a month, due to circumstances. They apologize for the delay in getting new episodes out, but are also secure in the knowledge that their fans will be patient, unless they're not.
