Reception

reviewed Dramocles: An Intergalactic Soap Opera for White Dwarf #69, staying that it has hilarious scenes, like the completely irrelevant one in which minor characters try to gain narrative security by establish a sub-plot of their own; but overall it reads as though Sheckley was desperately making it up as he went along. Pretty good by some standards; insubstantial by Sheckley's own."
