REVIEW: Soulmates – Mike Resnik & Lezli Robyn

by
Soulmates - Mike Resnik & Lezli Robyn

Multiple award-winning authors, Mike Resnick and Lezli Robyn, get to the heart of the matter in Soulmates, which showcases all the words they have penned together over their years as collaborators (with a bonus solo piece by each). Whether a robot, alien, some kind of supernatural being or human, rising above our prejudices and ignorance allows us to make emotional connections that can have a profound effect on our lives. Each of these stories examine a facet of the simple, yet incredibly complex, concept of companionship. They will make you laugh; will make you cry…but most importantly they will make … Read more

QUEER SCI FI Reviews Prolepsis

Prolepsis Review

“The story is period perfect. I’d forgotten all about CompuServe forums and message boards. It brought back so many memories for me… The whole thing has such a light touch that when a sad revelation is made, it gets you right where it hurts. There are moments of sadness spread throughout a story of such quiet joy and hope. Just like life – good times and bad times hand in hand. Read it, shed that tear, smile that smile and thank all the Seans out there for getting us to where we are today.” Full Story at Queer Sci Fi

REVIEW: Solomon’s Paradox – Kelly McClymer

Solomon's Paradox

About The Book A mother must deal with the shattering reality when science and the courts give her dead son a chance to tie up loose ends in the body of the friend who accidentally killed him. Get It On Amazon The Review Solomon’s Paradox is short – just thirty-three pages – but damn does it pack an emotional punch. McClymer calls it “Mom Sci-Fi,” but I think that sells the story short. Sure, the protagonist is a mother, but this is social sci-fi at its best, taking a fascinating idea and extrapolating it in the most personal terms. The … Read more

REVIEW: Dropnauts

by
Dropnauts - J. Scott Coatsworth

Just got a five-star review for Dropnauts on Amazon: Dropnauts is both a dystopian and a utopian novel, and a novel about what it means to be human, and how, when things are at their worst, sometimes we are our best. We can redeem ourselves, repair out mistakes. As author Lee Hunt says, the novel is “Fast, optimistic and entertaining. Coatsworth’s Dropnauts shows that forgiveness may the best fuel for redemption” (back cover). This is a novel of hope. According to the review in Publisher’s Weekly, “Redemption, perseverance, and identity … Readers will enjoy the diverse cast and high-tech adventure” … Read more
