  1. Every city has its dark underbelly.
    But Cibus, at the bottom of Margot IV's methane sea, is the the planet's dark underworld. Nothing pure happens in those oil-streaked streets, and Clayton Hart knows it.
    Still, a job's a job, even if all the players are liars.

    Read "The Stuff Legends are Made Of" in Rare: A Dark Anthology of Unusual Secrets, available now.

  4. ENSIGN FLANDRY (1978)
    Acrylic on illustration board - 26” x 16”

    Dominic Flandry debuted in print way back in 1966, a decade before I worked on ACE reprints of the series. Early in my career, I was often paired with established authors like Poul Anderson. 1/4

  8. The Science Fiction writer Peter F Hamilton (of the Nights Dawn trilogy, great fun) enjoyed the new series of Foundation as I did. Like Peter says they've taken the base text and 'run with it'
    He also gives an update as to what he's been up to

  18. I've finished: Scythe by Neal Shusterman

    It was recommended as part of a Story Graph reading challenge under the prompt:

    " 20. Dystopian Deconstruction (1 added)

    Critiques the overused conventions of YA dystopias".

    I found it to be a very conventional YA dystopia novel.

    I see these prompts a a learning opportunity. If you've read Scythe and can enlighten me as to why it would be considered a diconstruction of YA dystopian conventions, I'd love to hear it. If you agree that it is not a diconstructi9on, can you recommend another novel for this prompt?

    Mind you, in this reading challenge Anti YA is an adjacent prompt.

    " 19. Anti-YA (2 added)

    Challenges traditional YA tropes like the chosen one or insta-love."

    I think this discussion will contain spoilers. So it will be continued in the next message with a content warning.

  25. Wie @lokoshan hab ich an diesem Wochenende den ersten Band der neuen #PerryRhodan-Miniserie gelesen. Noch ist mir nicht klar, wo die Handlung hingehen wird, aber es hat schon mal Lust auf mehr gemacht.
