Guess who's wandered by? I'm chuffed that someone else knows, and has read Capon's Phobos the Robot Planet. It was the first sf book I borrowed and read from a library. Actually the Children's Library, a wonderful library for young kids, and housed in what were the former stables of the South Australian Mounted Police (that was in the 19th century, so there was no chance of horsey residues among the books). They had a great selection of science books, a wide range of magazines, and a comprehensive swathe of children's fiction. Capon's book stuck in my memory and out of curiousity I sought out a copy. Not without flaws, but in some ways it was better than I remembered. The South Australian connection (in the story) was a plus. What did you think of it, Stephen?
