Re:Sci-fi authors

Thanks to you beloved old guy I have some names to work with besides the biggies….

The problem I have is that sci-fi/ fantasy deal and i’m not one for neccesarily mixing them that freely. it just turns into some butch captain dude saving some chick with mystical powers or wings or something for 5 books.

Why do we need to gild an already beautiful lily. Why cannot sci-fi stand on its own? With a few more womanly changes in the general psyche of what sci-fi is; we could advance its popularity to more people especially women.

I’ve been attached to Frank McDevitt whom is, i would say, the …..oooh whose the spy novelist writer like The Bourne Identity…. the kinda sci-fi fan writer that writes for the mainstream sci-fi lover but has enough story and weaves it well enough to keep me entertained.

I loved “Seeker” “Polaris’ was fine except the peril to the characters was repeated 3 times; and I liked “Moonfall” but it is so simliar our modern disaster movies.

Sci-fi channel should use “Moonfall”; it’s right up their street and better than giant (insert whatever).

I’m trying to read McDevitt’s “Deepsix” now.
