Exclusive Interview: “Embers Of War” Author Gareth L Powell

 

Writer, politician, and former ambassador to both Italy and Brazil Clare Boothe Luce once noted that, “no good deed goes unpunished.” It’s an idea the crew of the sentient spaceship War Dog — and the ship itself — comes to understand in Gareth L Powell’s new space opera, Embers Of War (paperback, Kindle), the first book in his new sci-fi trilogy.

Exclusive Interview: Martians Abroad Author Carrie Vaughn

Carrie Vaughn Martians Abroad

Historian S.E. Grove once said, “Memory is a tricky thing… It doesn’t just recall the past, it makes the past. If you remember our trip as a few minutes, it will be a few minutes. If you make it something else, it will be something else.” It’s a sentiment writer Carrie Vaughn might agree with, especially given that her new space opera Martians Abroad (hardcover, paperback, Kindle) was inspired by her somewhat mistaken memories of someone else’s sci-fi adventure tale.

Exclusive Interview: Black Star Renegades Author Michael Moreci

Michael Moreci Black Star Renegades The Throwaway

Like a lot of people who write space opera-style science fiction, writer Michael Moreci cites the Star Wars saga as a big influence. But in talking to him about his new novel Black Star Renegades (paperback, hardcover, Kindle), he also — in what I’m assuming is a sign of things to come — mentioned the Guardians Of The Galaxy films as having an impact on his space adventure as well.

Lately it seems like every science fiction novel isn’t a self-contained story, but is instead part of a larger saga. But in trading emails with sci-fi writer Kameron Hurley about her novel The Stars Are Legion — which is newly available in paperback after already being in hardcover and on Kindle — she revealed that while it is a stand-alone tale, it was somewhat inspired by one of Hurley’s own larger sagas.

Exclusive Interview: “Star Trek: The Original Series: The Latter Fire” Author James Swallow

While the original mission of the Enterprise only made it through three of its planned five year schedule, it’s more than made up for it thanks to numerous Star Trek novels (and comics, and games…). The latest of which is James Swallow’s Star Trek The Original Series The Latter Fire (paperback, digital), which presents yet another adventure for Kirk, Spock, and their coworkers. Though in talking to Swallow about this book, it’s interesting to learn that Star Trek novels come with their own version of The Prime Directive.
