“Keep your dials tuned as we join the RVO Radio Theatre for adventure, mystery, and danger!  Dive deep into the jungles of South America where the temple’s gift may not bring what you wish in The Ruins.  Then, jump to the Wild West of America as a badger determines who is the predator and who is Prey.  But don’t go too far as a group of intrepid Army Rangers battle a foreign threat to America more dangerous than the evil mastermind’s ‘robots’ in Rocket Canyon. And this next tale of an Aussie gal with a heart of gold and fists of iron battles the Nazis in The Bouncer and the Didgeridoo of Awakening. And join our poster girl, the rough and tumble Tesla Mae and the Lost Tribe. Don’t take too long to dock your airship, because evil cultists are trying to destroy Boston in Jericho Tanner and the Ebon Star. Find out who is the destroyer of worlds and who is the fox that can save us all in Savior.  And finally wrap it all up with a trip across the pond and the high flying aces in Flight of the Fire Dragon! Stay tuned, listeners, for more adventure!”

Book of the Month: Anthropomorphic Aliens, edited by Fred Patten

Anthro Aliens coverSeptember’s Book of the Month is edited by FWG associate member Fred Patten and includes a story co-authored by member C. Alan Loewen.

Anthropomorphic animals have been imagined for as long as stories have been told. This is especially true of science fiction, where the endless possibilities of alien worlds make fertile ground for creativity.

 Contained in these pages are stories from across the spectrum of science fiction, ranging from 1950 to 2013, and featuring feathers, fur, and scales. Each creature is a unique blend of humanity and the alien. Childlike or savage, independent or autocratic, they come in all sizes and shapes. Some are recognizable as reflections of humanity, while others are strange and wild creatures that defy description. All of them ask the same question: What kind of creatures will we find when we go to the stars?

The anthology features eleven stories:

  • “Mask of the Ferret” by Ken Pick & C. Alan Loewen
  • “The Inspector’s Teeth” by L. Sprague de Camp
  • “Specialist” by Robert Sheckley
  • “In Hoka Signo Vinces” by Poul Anderson & Gordon R. Dickson
  • “Point of Focus” by Robert Silverberg
  • “Novice” by James H. Schmitz
  • “What Really Matters” by Elizabeth McCoy
  • “Kings and Vagabonds” by Cairyn
  • “The King’s Dogs” by Phyllis Gotlieb
  • “A Touch of Blue: A Web Shifters Story” by Julie Czerneda
  • “Fly the Friendly Skies” by Bryan Feir

Book of the Month: Huvek by James L. Steele

Huvek coverAugust’s Book of the Month is by FWG member James L. Steele.

Humanity has gone to the stars, split and fused the atom, colonized hundreds of worlds, and rejoiced at first contact with alien life. Until the killing started.

Man has been at war with the Kesvek for over forty years. Nearly indestructible, relentless in battle, and unwilling to negotiate, the reptiles constantly push forward. Colony after colony has falls, and the human race can do little but hold them back. Humanity knows very little about their enemy.

The Kesvek plan to change that.

There is much to learn, and the Kesvek are willing to teach.  So long as humans can survive the process, mankind will discover what caused the conflict, and what is required for peace.

No matter the cost.
