hello all. Im now editing a new online fiction blog called Unternet Fiction. It's really DIY and new, but we are totally desperate for material. We cover the entire spectrum of speculative fiction. so if anyone has any short yarns they're working on, why not submit it for our consideration...

Well, some of the stuff ive been reading lately hasnt been strictly SF I just finished 100 Years Of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and now I'm going back and forth between John kennedy Toole's A Confederacy Of Dunces and The Year's Best Science Fiction, edited by Gardner Dozoiz. 100...

. im not at my home PC, but heres the Kandinsky composition that serves as my background. its a little busy, but its spaced well. sorry its so big

welcome to the forum, your book sounds fun. I recently have 'discovered' King myself, epsecially the two Richard Bachman novels The Regulators and Desperation. You should em out. Anyway, welcome and your book sounds enticing

I just started this book this weekend and can't put it down. The only other work of Brin I've read is is graphic novel The Life Eaters. The practice Effect features a very Heinlein-esque hero. The competent scientist. The man who can puzzle out of any situation and do it with a certain panache...

i chose 'other', specifically i meant the Thrintun, or Slavers, of larry Niven's Known Space stories. The Thrintun lived on a homeworld where everything was just a little telepathic, hence they evolved a sort of hypnotic command ability. of course to any species from a world with almost no...

i actually own this book, but ive only ever thumbed through it, reading the 'explanations' that interested me. ill take another look at it now though.

I love the New Gods. if you like them you should have a look at DC's latest tie-in event, Final Crisis. Its all about the Apokolips gods taking over earth in human bodies. its written by Grant Morrison who is dead brilliant. it was a very fun read, but maybe not accessible to someone unfamiliar...

anytime. its only becaue i just read it less than a year ago. I blank-out on a lot of books i read too.

the second book sounds very much like Eon by Greg Bear heres some of the major points i remember. see if they match with what you recall: -Set during the cold war, or a future of it. -there was a nuclear standoff on earth while researchers occupied The Stone -Their were 7 chambers in the...

Sadly, i recently discovered yesterday that the artist Seth Fisher, whom i cited as penciller of Green Lantern: Willworld, passed away in January of 2006. i had named him as part of a fantsy creative team in the post above, but I did not note that he was passed.

so..we have seen the success of King's Dark Tower and the Stand in their comic book incanations, so we know that it can be pulled off without losing too much of the original story. I do concede that any adaptation of a work from its original form is a lossy compression, so to speak. But ive seen...

have you read Ex Machina, by brian K. Vaughan?

have you read Ex Machina, by brian K. Vaughan?

I've read some really good stuff lately. new and old. At least one book i read last year really impressed me a whole lot. So much that im hesitant to read the sequel for fear of it probably not on par with the first. This book is M. John Harrison's Light. I've raved about this book before so...
