S.-F. plays on radio
Grisly and gripping science fiction from a New Zealand author, Miles Singe, in a further series of his short dramas, entitled “Stopover in Unknown Worlds,” will provide Saturday afternoon listening on Radio New Zealand’s national programme. The futuristic stories deal with such disparate and intriguing subjects as black aliens, brain-devour-ing pyramids, devil reincarnation, space hijackers and, somewhat surprisingly, human pets. The tales are sometimes disquieting, for, as the author himself said of his earlier “Stopover in Unknown Worlds” series, “To a certain extent they are all a dire projection of trends that are apparent today, if you take them to the worst possible conclusions.”
An experienced writer for radio, Miles Singe began his writing while he
was in the army, and is now a journalist in Dunedin. He enjoys the “change of pace” in writing for listeners rather than readers.
