Discover | The Legends of Luke Skywalker by Ken Liu

By

I became disenfranchised with Star Wars when The Force Awakens (Star Wars 7) was released and it's taken me a few years to warm up to the new Star Wars, so I missed the recent tie in novels. However with the release of Thrawn my interested was piqued again and here's another book in the new Star Wars cannon which may be worth reading.

Written by Ken Liu, who is known to fantasy and science-fiction readers for his novel The Grace of Kings, a collection of short stories, Paper Menagerie as well as his translations of Chinese author Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem. Liu has also racked up quite a collection of awards for his work, counting among them the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus, so I expect this to be a decent novel.

Liu isn’t the only author to be contributing to Journey to the Last Jedi series Claudia Gray is writing a book about about a sixteen-year-old Princess Leia, which is set before A New Hope, called Princess of Alderaan 

The Princess of Alderaan is set for a release date of September 1, 2017 and The Legends of Luke Skywalker, October 31, 2017.

What do you think of the new Star War Canon and have you read any of the newer books in this universe? Let me know on my Facebook page The BistroMath or on Twitter.

Verner Vinge and The Fermi Paradox | A Fire Upon The Deep

By
There are two things about this book that I really like: The first is Verner Vinge's take on the Fermi Paradox and the second are the Tines, an alien race he created for the story. [Would you rather watch the video edition of this post? - releasing soon.] I love reading Science Fiction and Fantasy stories and one of my favourite things about these books are all the different non-human races that we encounter. In Fantasy it’s normally just a handful of races like Elves and Dwarfs, but in Science Fiction there is an unlimited amount of different alien races out there… but what about in real life? In real life… Have you ever wondered where all the aliens are? Have you ever been looking at the stars and wondered ‘Are we alone in the universe ?’ If so you’re not alone. There has been a lot of discussion about this topic by people from all walks of life including philosophers, scientist and writers. In fact this discussion has a name: The Fermi Paradox. The Fermi Para...

The Most Mysterious Book in the World - The Voynich Manuscript

By
Bibliophiles who love a good mystery, or conspiracy, should be familiar with the Voynich Manuscript. In the article that follows I’ll take you through a quick overview on this mystery and then provide you with some links for further reading. Enjoy! The mysterious Voynich Manuscript has been hanging around for almost 500 years, most of that time it was lost among a private collection but is now the focus of intense of scrutiny. It is famous for being written in an unknown language or code which, so far, has yet to been deciphered. The Voynich manuscript, or Beinecke Ms. 408, is thought to be the only medieval document on the planet in that category. This handwritten codex famous for its indecipherable language also contains drawings of strange plants, Zodiac star charts, and what looks like women bathing in green water.

Cycling In The Dark - A Technique For Writing Fiction.

By
I’ve been reading a lot of ‘ how-to ’ books on writing novels recently, the majority of them talk about creating an outline even before writing the first draft. For those of us who have attempted this sort of thing it does make sense. Step 1: Create and outline of your story, know where and when everything will happen. Step 2: Write your first draft, don’t worry about spelling mistakes or typo’s just let your creative voice have free reign so you can get the story out there. As Joanna Penn says ‘ splurge on words and ideas ’ in this first draft. Step 3: Spent time editing. That is using your critical voice, correcting the spelling mistakes and typo’s, rewriting and polishing the story. The problem is that we spend a lot of time on step 1 and never seem to be able to finish.
