Before there was Buzz Lightyear...there was Captain Future!

Here's a suggestion for Haffner Press. How about bringing back Captain Future? more...

(A 2004 classic!)

The Illustrious Mr. Chung sent me this link to a site devoted to the wonderful YA series of SF novels published by the John C. Winston Company in the late 1950's and early 1960's. The artwork was wonderful, and many of the books are still fun to read today. more...

This is the second of two lists that I'll be posting. It's derived (more or less) from my personal collection. I figure if I keep a book, it fits my definition of "best non-fiction".

Eventually I'll start linking to my reviews of books, as I post the reviews, go through the postings, and back-link them. So come back often! more...

(Halfway through 2004!)

I've been reading Isaac Asimov's massive two-volume original autobiography (In Memory Yet Green and In Joy Still Felt). Yesterday I picked up Foundation, the first of the original Foundation novels, and finished most of it while traveling to and from a picnic. Between the autobiography and the novel, I was curious to see what the names of the original stories were. A query to a list I run (Space Opera, on Yahoo) turned up a link to this page by Raja Thiagarajan, who has done an excellent job of pulling together original art, changes in titles, and changes between magazine and book versions.

Interjection (May 23, 2007): This next section was posted as three separate items few days later at the Late, Great Planet Blog, so I'll post it here insrtead of as another item triplet.

(Posted from 2004. We're catching up!)

One of my favorite works of that much-maligned portion of science fiction known as "space opera" is a book called The Legion of Space by Jack Williamson. Much of the action takes place at "Barnard's Runaway Star", a star with a large proper motion. more...
