Welcome to the weekend!  Here are a few hand curated articles from across the internet, I'm sure one of these will be of interest to you. I've been trying my had at a different media, video, so before you go why no check out my YouTube channel .  Last week I looked at a Star Trek Controversy and this coming Sunday I will tackle the Lack Of Resolutions In The Wheel Of Time .  There are several others new additions especially if you like 'Old School' science fiction, most no longer than 5 minutes.  Now sit back with your favourite beverage and enjoy! 

Because I like reading and watching Science Fiction and Fantasy related novels and films I often get asked questions about these topics so I thought that I would try to answer some of these frequently asked questions in this new series Ask Wolf .  I was so temped to call it Werewolf, or Unraveling the Gordian Knot, but I guess these are 'in-jokes' which most people couldn't relate to.  Anyway I'm here to help and I'll try to answer any questions related to my interests. To kick off the series, I'm explaining the controversy over the new Star Trek movies. As in what's going on with this new Star Trek Movies reboot? Why don't things happen the way it did in the The Original Series?  Sit back with your favourite beverage and enjoy this quick look at: New Star Trek Movies Controversy Explained | Kelvin Timeline

Welcome, it's that time of the week again. So I present to you a random mix of interesting articles about books, space, science and tech.  Just a quick plug for my Treasures from the Bookshelf Video series , you can find the list in my Dusty Screen section on this blog or my YouTube Channel . Enjoy with your favourite beverage!

I'd like to take the time to say thanks to all those you've been watching my Treasures from the Bookshelf series. It's really good to hear that people who aren't usually interested in Science Fiction have been watching and commenting that these videos have sparked an interest in Sci-Fi! Isn't that great! To show that I'm interested in topics other than Sci-Fi, I've created this video about my Shakespeare experience.  Hope you enjoy it. Two more treasures from my bookshelf, this time classical literature, William Shakespeare and how you really should experience Shakespeare in order to enjoy him. Liked what you read?

Welcome, have you ever heard about whale math ?  I was thinking big aquatic mammals when I saw the article and wondered what it had to do with books. Well now you can find out.  Also we look at leisure and moving objects with sound!  Pretty awesome.  Sit back with your favourite beverage and enjoy some weekend reading.

This book was listed in the Science Fiction & Fantasy section for Teen & Young Adult.  But it was the cover that caught my attention and the rest of the book is illustrated similarly.  It's a retelling of the story of St. Francis and the Wolf of Gubbio from the wolf's perspective. It's getting a lot of interest and is a Nominee for 2015 INDIEFAB Book of the Year, Juvenile Fiction.  A book to be enjoyed with a hot chocolate before bed.

Star Trek is celebrating it's 50th Anniversary this week.  If you want to see how close we are to the Star Trek future I would encourage you to grab a copy of Trekonomics . I purchased the audio version from Audible.com and really enjoyed listening to it.  Enjoy it with a Klingon  Raktajino .

The Parker Interstellar Travels Series (PIT) continues with The Celaran Refuge. These books are big on action and relatively quick paced. Each book is written with a cliff hanger ending and the plans and adventures build on the former ones which means that you can't start at any book. I would recommend that you read them as a whole starting at book one, The Trilisk Ruins  (It's free to download*)

In this video I take a quick look a the Rampart Worlds Series by Julian May. As I say in the video If you want to feel intelligent read Julian May's Rampart Worlds series.  Click on the link or picture below to view the video.  If you're interested and want to get the books use the links below.
