Reception

Dave Langford reviewed Dramocles: An Intergalactic Soap Opera for White Dwarf #69, and stated that "Dramocles has hilarious scenes, like the completely irrelevant one in which minor characters try to gain narrative security by establish a sub-plot of their own; but overall it reads as through Sheckley was desperately making it up as he went along. Pretty good by some standards; insubstantial by Sheckley's own."[1]
