Vintage Paperback - Beyond Eden by David Duncan
Ballantine (1955)
Fantastic Voyage (1966). A scientist is nearly assassinated. In order to save him, a submarine is shrunken to microscopic size and injected into his blood stream with a small crew. Problems arise almost as soon as they enter the bloodstream.
The legacy of Fantastic Voyage is vast, and in some ways more memorable than perhaps the original film itself. Still, that’s not exactly a slight on the original. Sure, it’s pretty thin in terms of characterisation, arcs and story, but visually, it really brought a lot of style to a genre that had always been pretty camp. It’s an impressive feat, and one that still, surprisingly, looks really good. 7/10.
