Just finished a great new book by Ben Bova - "The Sam Gunn Omnibus" It is a compilation of all of Bova's stories about Sam Gunn : the 22nd century spaceman turned venture capitalist and his romps thru the solar system. If you like hard sci-fi, you'll love Ben Bova and this new book.

go get the latest Ender book by Orson Scott Card " A War of Gifts: An Ender Story". Set in the Ender future, one of the central stories is a battle in the war college of the future about the right to celebrate religious holidays. seems kind of topical to todays discussions about Christmas.

2008 World Con will be held in Denver Co, Aug 6-8 2008. It will be in conjunction with Denvention III. Any sci-fi fantasy fans will love attending a World Con. Many of the major published authors, and many actors who have played sci-fi roles are in attendance at World Cons. World Cons are the SF/Fantasy universe's annual get-together. I have attended a few and it is always a rewarding experience.
Any brokies who happen to be planning a trip up to Wyoming or Colorado in the first week / second of Aug, give me a holler, I would love to meet you in Denver.

ConDFW is scheduled this year for 02/22-24/08. ConDFW is one of the literary sci-fi cons here in DFW. It is a relatively small event which allows you to have quality time with some of the guests and featured speakers. I spoke with Harry Turtledove for over an hour one year.

speaking of Turtledove:
I just finished his last installment on the Alternate Universe series - "Settling Accounts: In at the Death" This is part 4 of his series set in the 1940's in a timeline where the Confederacy won in the War of Secession 1860's. The North American continent is vastly changed over what we see in our timeline.
