I posted that book meme yesterday was to lay a trap for a certain unpublished author, and it worked perfectly. <\/p>\n

Ed Hering<\/a> has sent me two of his pieces now, one several months ago and another last night, which I stayed up and read through the night. <\/p>\n

let me make this clear: I have not read SF extensively in the last – what, ten years? preferring classic fiction over modern, and what modern fiction I do read are mostly murder mysteries, like you eat popcorn. <\/p>\n

Ed’s work is good, the science he uses is believable and good, his characters are believable and likeable, and the drama between characters is enjoyable and not strained. He can tell a story, which so damned many supposed storytellers cannot. <\/p>\n
