A review by ipb1
The Outward Urge by John Wyndham, Lucas Parkes

2.0

I loved Wyndham throughout my teens (in all his many pseudonymous forms), but somehow missed this one... and now I wish I had continued to pass it by. The central conceit has potential enough (a multi-generational obsession to explore space), but the stories are just too inconsequential to be of much interest. Ah well - I'll blame Lucas Parkes for dragging Wyndham down.
