She shrugged. ‘Not really. There’s an annual award for the worst adaptation of an author’s work. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it. The BADs – Book Adaptation Disasters – and Joan was the winner three or four years ago.’

I love the idea of the BADs. Someone should make it a reality.

Another good short story from Si Clarke (@clacksee@wandering.shop). I'm glad she's returned to the Mars Colony series, and I'd love to see a full-length book three. But then, I also want another full-length Vigilaunte Justice book, so maybe I'm just greedy 😎
