Appreciating the Gift of Storytelling

The science fiction world lost two storytellers this summer, Ray Bradbury and Harry Harrison.

I never met Harry, but I felt like I got to know Ray a little bit, just from how much director Roger Lay, Jr had talked about him and about working with him while they were making the film Chrysalis several years ago.

Robin of Sherwood Revisited

Every now and then, comments pop up on my old review of Robin of Sherwood, for the original (and at the time only) NTSC Region 1 DVD set of that classic and magical series, from people asking where they can find the DVDs.

The Search for New Ninjas Begins

The Search for New Ninjas Begins

The search for potential new Ninjas officially begins now.

Currently, the plan is to recruit a handful of people to create a pool of Ninjas, and each topic would be covered by myself and two other Ninjas. That way the burden of having to read or watch everything would be spread out amongst a few more people.

Show #42: Pre-show Discussion

Show #42 will cover The Stainless Steel Rat by Harry Harrison.

Originally published in 1961, it tells the story of The Rat, a criminal and thief who is convinced to join an elite law enforcement agency… comprised entirely of former criminals like himself.

As we’ve seen so often in history, sometimes bad guys can be pretty good good guys.

Tor has just launched Tor.com, a publisher-agnostic blog and community site for SF lovers, and I’ve joined the team of bloggers (which includes some really, really terrific folks who are far more interesting than me like Jim Henley, Cory Doctorow, Charlie Stross, and more).
