Professor Magneto and His Amazing Mechanical Man is a collection of short stories that will leave you in the outer realms of possibility. Whilst one story focuses on a bizarre circus act featuring a `mechanical man', another reveals a mysterious object floating above a remote Hebridean beach. The collection moves through various different settings, including a sinister `white room' where nothing is as it seems, and a lost planet on which a battle has begun. These short sci-fi parables come together to create a voyage through distant worlds, each distinct, but with one thing in common: a twist in the tale.
