GREETINGS FROM THE SUB-ARCTIC
Sometimes the hardest fight is not in combat
We are in the middle of an extended breakup – that’s the Alaskan term for cracking the ice layer over the rivers. It also applies to the hardpack on our roads. It is getting into the 40s during the day and back below freezing at night. Slush to frozen wheel ruts. It’s quite magnificent, unless you have to drive in it.
The main roads are clear, so we only have to plow through a quarter mile whenever we have to go someplace. You’ll see a little of that in the picture below. The school bus stops to say ‘hi’ to Stanley if we’re out there when they pass. His fan base is growing:)
Cosmic Thrill Ride StoryBundle
Featuring Cygnus Space Opera Books 1-3 plus titles by Timothy Zahn, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Robert Jeschonek and more! For one price all of these books can be had in a single bundle to read however and wherever you want.
The Celestial Sagas Space Opera Bundle
What is it about space opera that makes us love it so much? The action, the exotic settings, the colorful characters, the alien species? The promise of countless adventures in the face of the great unknown?
Or is it mostly just the incredible cool factor of all the ships…the technology…the planets…the ray guns and laser swords? In many ways, it’s the ultimate escapist genre, transporting us to places and situations that dwarf our everyday troubles. And yet, at its heart, space opera is all about us, what it means to be human, and how we can triumph over our human limitations.
Whatever your reason for loving the genre, this bundle has what you’re looking for in abundance. The eleven books I’ve selected are packed with space opera goodness that will propel you to the furthest reaches of the known and unknown universe while provoking plenty of deep thoughts along the way.
In this set of adventures, you will meet heroes and villains, all larger than life, all roaming myriad worlds and stations and outposts on quests for survival or freedom or love or redemption. You will find yourself with enough thrilling adventures to banish every doldrum, and every one of them comes from the mind of a master writer. When you read this bundle, you will invite the cream of the crop of space opera authors into your imagination. You know you are in for a finely crafted thrill ride when you leap into the starship cockpit alongside David Gerrold, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Dean Wesley Smith, Craig Martelle, or Timothy Zahn. You know you can trust Jeannette Bedard, Ron Collins, Robert J. Szmidt, Dave Walsh, and Lawrence Schoen to take you very far in every way possible.
If you love space opera, science fiction, action-adventure, or great writing regardless of genre, this bundle will light up your universe in all the best ways. Grab your copy during the limited three-week sales window, load your e-reading device or app, and launch yourself into orbit for some breathtaking, soul-stirring, and thought-provoking reading.
