"A sinister cabal of superior writers."
"The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; the pessimist fears this is true." I believe that the wonder of it all will prevail, and in the meantime enjoy reading, recording music, taking photos and travelling. My Science Fiction Reading Experience site (www.thrillingwonderreading.blogspot.com) reflects my love of pulps and space adventure; steampunks and post-moderns. My wife and I attend Messianic Jewish Congregation in Calgary and play in a klazmir band. There is also a "Thrilling Wonder Story" site (www.thrillingwonder.blogspot.com) where I post some recently found cool pictures and links.

Book Review: Against the Fall of Night by Arthur C. Clarke
Are we seeing a renaissance of the space opera genre today, or is it a superficial return to the '40s, the time of grand-scale storytelling?
