Hey , I'm back again with another double dose of sci-fi goodness! First up, a sci-fi story from Bradner Buckner called "The Day Time Stopped Moving". Bucker was the pen name of Ed Earl Repp, a memorable storyteller who went from being published in a streak of early pulp magazines like Amazing Stories and Air Wonder Stories, to writing novels and working as a Hollywood screenwriter for western films in the 1940s. I really love reading these pulp stories as they go up, getting to know the old pulp writers is a great experience. There are 3 stories up on the blog now, so go to mgherron.com/blog and scroll back through if you missed the other two. As for our book of the week, today I've got a new sci-fi novel from JJ Green. Her book Mission Improbable was quite popular last year on the email list, so I expect this new one—a grittier colonization space opera—to be a hit, too. Check out the blurb below to see if it would interest you. As always, I hope you find something here to enjoy! ✌️📚 -MG
"The Day Time Stopped Moving" by Bradner Buckner All Dave Miller wanted to do was commit suicide in peace. He tried, but the things that happened after he'd pulled the trigger were all wrong. Like everyone standing around like statues. No St. Peter, no pearly gate, no pitchforks or halos. He might just as well have saved the bullet! Read online at mgherron.com/blog >
The Concordia Deception by JJ Green Genetic specialist Cariad has spent 184 years in cryonic suspension to achieve her dream. But her new home isn’t the paradise the scientists predicted, and stowaway saboteurs are determined that no one is going to survive. To defeat the colony’s enemies, Cariad must enlist the help of the Gens, the last in a long line of generations who lived and died aboard the colony ship. They’ve been bred and trained with one object in mind: to build a new civilization. But their wishes and those of the colony’s scientists don’t match up. The colony is teetering on the edge of disaster. Can Cariad pull it back from the brink?
