This ... looks kinda fun. Along with the authors named in the recent "NDN" fpp I might just be reading some sf in the near future.

It is hard to find good science fiction amongst the "book 12 of the elvish scroll chronicles of Mars" or whatever, so it is a delight to see these two FPPs in two days. Please keep it coming, but maybe slow it down slightly so I can find the books and start reading.
