One review that is now complete and will be featured on the BookBanter site and possibly in Episode 18 on October 1st is Distant Early Warnings: Canada’s Best Science Fiction edited by Robert J. Sawyer. I interviewed Sawyer in Episode 11 where he talked briefly about this project, but little did I know it was going to be such an enjoyable and fascinating collection.
And here’s the first paragraph to get you interested:
Readers who either don’t read a lot of science fiction, or don’t read a wide breadth of science fiction, may look at Distant Early Warnings and wonder: “Canada has science fiction writers?” Then they’ll read down the list of the stories included in this collection by authors like Julie E. Czerneda, Nalo Hopkinson, and Robert Charles Wilson, and think to themselves: “They’re Canadian?” And finally they look and see that Distant Early Warnings is edited by Robert J. Sawyer, a brilliant science fiction writer who has won just about every award possible, and think: “He’s Canadian too?” Not only is science fiction alive and well and being skillfully created and written in the great country north of the United States, but it is in fact home to some of the best science fiction writers alive today.
And that review will be up on BookBanter on October 1st.
