Stonebender reviewed Sea Horse In The Sky by Edmund Cooper
Review of 'Sea Horse In The Sky' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I've been feeling nostalgic recently. So I'm rereading old faves or reading authors I haven't read since I was a kid. This was one of those, I read Mr. Cooper as a child, but haven't read this particular book before.
This story is very reminiscent of a Twilight Zone '50's style. The fun part is really the beginning. 16 people who were on the same flight from Sweden to England suddenly wake up in plastic see-through coffins on an asphalt road. As they escape their boxes they find they have awakened in a world that consists of a small hotel, a mile of road and a grocery store on the other end. There are a few small shacks along the road and empty landscape all around it. Of course other things happen, we meet a couple of groups of other humans and adventures ensue.
There are no real big plot …

There are no real big plot twists or character revelations, but I found myself enjoying the quick read. I can't say I recommend it to anyone unless this description intrigues you, but I had fun.
