F or the past year or so I've been spending most of my waking hours in a place where light, matter, energy and time obey different laws of physics than those that rule our own universe. Studying the way things move and interact under these alternative laws reveals some familiar behaviour, some strange and eerily beautiful phenomena, and some terrifying risks. To reach what I will call the Riemannian universe involves nothing more than changing a minus sign to a plus sign in a simple equation that governs the geometry of space-time.

And curiously enough, although the consequences sometimes seem bizarre, the basic laws here can be understood more easily and intuitively than those that apply in the real world. We have known for more than a hundred years that the best way to understand time in our universe is to think of it as combining with the familiar three dimensions of space to form a four-dimensional space-time, which obeys its own distinctive geometrical laws. 365 tomorrows : A New Flash of Science Fiction Every Day.

Brian AldissStar Maker by Olaf Stapledon (1937) It requires little sophistry to consider Daniel Defoe's immortal Robinson Crusoe as a metaphor for a man stranded on an alien planet.

The stars of modern SF pick the best science fiction

Crusoe is an exile, and exile has proved a perennial theme within the genre of science fiction. Of all its great themes, lingering on the fringes of comprehension is Star Maker, by Olaf Stapledon (1882-1950). Stapledon was an exile, his childhood spent between Egypt and England. Star Maker is both illuminated and darkened by a feeling of not belonging, the essence of exile. It was published in 1937, when it received a rather chilly reception; the public did not know what to make of it. The opening sentence of Star Maker is: "One night when I had tasted bitterness I went out on to the hill. " What can we make of this terrible thing creating and controlling entire galaxies? Stapledon's book embraces the firmament.

Robert Silverberg. Interview with God’s War author Kameron Hurley. God’s War has been out for a week now.

Interview with God’s War author Kameron Hurley

We reviewed it and loved it, and the natural next step was an interview with the author, Kameron Hurley! Luckily for us, she consented, and it was a joy to interview her. We discussed a variety of topics from her feelings on having her book just released, where she says that she “just [can't get her] head around the fact that it’s actually happened, despite photographic evidence that it’s on bookstore shelves” to her near-death experience, where she says she went into a coma after a year of bad health.

Finally, she talks about her plans after the God’s War trilogy, and her idea for a “Bloodtide in space” book. Before we start the interview, I’d like to say a bit about about Kameron Hurley and her book, God’s War. More information on God’s War can be found in both our review, previously linked, and on the God’s War homepage (which is pretty fantastic!). The Wise Man’s Fear (Kingkiller #2) by Patrick Rothfuss. The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss was one of the most critically acclaimed fantasy debuts of our time. Though widely recognized as a book that would impact the future of fantasy literature, The Name of the Wind has also received some critique.

The book is a character study that focuses deeply on the dilemmas the young and gifted orphan Kvothe met on his life’s journey, and thus there was no need for action and suspense to thrive on. However, many felt that a book without all that excitement didn’t suffice. Needless to say, I am a fan of The Name of the Wind, so when its sequel The Wise Man’s Fear, the second novel in Rothfuss’s Kingkiller Chronicles, came out on March 1, I had to read it.

This book is everything its predecessor was. Kvothe’s story continuedThe Wise Man’s Fear follows closely after the events of The Name of the Wind. Breaking the laws of fantasy However, as Kvothe’s life progresses there are new elements introduced to the story. The Broken Kingdoms (Inheritance #2) by N.K. Jemisin.

Standing on a cane-bottomed chair, the man lifted down from the top of the case a huge untitled volume with the Seal of Solomon stamped on the side.

" --The Face in the Frost, John Bellairs What Is "Overlooked"? This page gives me more conceptual trouble than most of the rest of this site put together. Another issue is the sad fact that of the books, and even just the authors, listed on this site, very few are likely to be known to the general public--even the literate, book-reading public; and not so many more will be known even to those who regularly ingest science fiction and fantasy books. How and why does a book of merit come to be overlooked? So here is my latest attempt at this list. Gems You May Be Missing. The latest fantasy news.
