Exclusive Interview: “Zen And The Art Of Starship Maintenance And Other Stories” Author Tobias S. Buckell

 

Two years after releasing his sixth collection of short stories, Shoggoths In Traffic And Other Stories, writer Tobias Buckell is back with his seventh, Zen And The Art Of Starship Maintenance And Other Stories (paperback, Kindle, audiobook).

Exclusive Interview: Halo Envoy Author Tobias S Buckell

But with his new novel Halo Envoy (trade paperback, mass market paperback, digital) — in which a civil war between the Sangheili threatens the peace on a world where they and human colonists are trying to make a new life for themselves — writer Tobias S Buckell has actually come up with a story that doesn’t just compliment the Halo games, it could work as a game as well.
