Acrylic on illustration board - 26” x 16”

Dominic Flandry debuted in print way back in 1966, a decade before I worked on ACE reprints of the series. Early in my career, I was often paired with established authors like Poul Anderson. 1/4

New book

The Science Fiction writer Peter F Hamilton (of the Nights Dawn trilogy, great fun) enjoyed the new series of Foundation as I did. Like Peter says they've taken the base text and 'run with it'
He also gives an update as to what he's been up to

I've finished: Scythe by Neal Shusterman

It was recommended as part of a Story Graph reading challenge under the prompt:

" 20. Dystopian Deconstruction (1 added)

Critiques the overused conventions of YA dystopias".

I found it to be a very conventional YA dystopia novel.

I see these prompts a a learning opportunity. If you've read Scythe and can enlighten me as to why it would be considered a diconstruction of YA dystopian conventions, I'd love to hear it. If you agree that it is not a diconstructi9on, can you recommend another novel for this prompt?

Mind you, in this reading challenge Anti YA is an adjacent prompt.

" 19. Anti-YA (2 added)

Challenges traditional YA tropes like the chosen one or insta-love."

I think this discussion will contain spoilers. So it will be continued in the next message with a content warning.
