Review: Sapphire and Steel
March 25, 2008 By 1 Comment
"Sapphire and Steel have been assigned."
The blurb on the back of the case reads: "The spiritual precursor to The X-Files, SAPPHIRE AND STEEL is one of the most atmospheric, mysterious, and compelling television programs ever made. Joanna Lumley and David McCallum star as alien investigators sent to Earth to monitor and police ruptures in time."
More KAMN Coming

As promised last fall, my old reviews from before I joined Dragon Page will be reposted here shortly.
I couldn't decide if it would be better to repost them with the original dates (thus dating them before KAMN existed), or just post them new, with a tagline saying when they were originally done. Brian liked the posting them new idea, so that won out.
KAMN Show #36: The Broken Lands
March 20, 2008 By 7 Comments
Feature Discussion: Welcome newcomer ninja stunt double Jen Crawford. Jen is a big fan of 90s TV, so we'll have to explore that in future KAMN episodes.
David, Brian and Jen chat about "The Broken Lands", Book One of the "Empire of the East" trilogy by Fred Saberhagen, first published in 1968, and most recently printed in an omnibus collection of the entire trilogy by Tor in 2004.
Great Things Come to Those Who Wait

2008 is an auspicious year.
It's the year that Matt Stover's epic Heroes Die becomes eligible for KAMN discussion.
This is the book that rekindled my interest in fantasy by showing me that fantasy could be so much more, and yes, validating the feeling that I hadn't been getting enough story in my stories.

Asimov, Foundation and more

We've had a lot of requests during the time we've been doing this to do a show on "Foundation."
A lot of requests.
I haven't put it on the schedule yet, simply because of how much work I've been doing lately, but for some reason I kept getting hints and reminders about Foundation over the past 2 months.
Always nice to have a new KAMN...
