'The Forest of Peldain' is the twelfth science fiction novel by Barrington J. Bayley.[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?4543 'The Forest of Peldain'] at Internet Speculative Fiction Database Set on the water world of the Hundred Islands, the Arelian empire attempts to seize control of the last island, Peldain, which within its dense forests contains an independent kingdom and an ancient secret.

Literary significance and reception



Rhys Hughes regarded Bayley as having "slackened off" after 'The Zen Gun', concluding that Vancean stylings of 'The Forest of Peldain' were "not a sustainable effort."

Andy Robertson, reviewing the novel in 'Interzone', dismissed the book as "[a] fairly minor potboiler."
