Andre Norton’s Forerunner, first published in 1981, is not her first book set in this universe, but it is the first of two books following the character Simsa. Although Forerunner was re-released a few years ago, Forerunner: The Second Venture was not, but both of Simsa’s stories can be found together in the omnibus The Forerunner Factor.
The old city Kuxortal contained a variety of peoples, but Simsa never met another like herself. She does not know where she came from, and for as long as she can remember, she’s lived in the Burrows with Ferwar, an elderly woman who is not her kin. Those who live in the Burrows are the poorest in the city, making their homes out of the ruins of old buildings, and much of their earnings come from...

On a cold night in January, George R.R. Martin sits inside the Jean Cocteau Cinema, a revival theater that he owns in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he has lived since 1979. The Cinema had been showing the first three seasons of HBO's megahit series Game of Thrones, which is based on Martin's still-in-the-works saga A Song of Ice and Fire. After viewing the ninth episode, "Baelor," in which the story's apparent hero, Ned Stark, is unexpectedly beheaded, with the screen falling to black, Martin sits quietly for several moments,...

James Tiptree, Andre Norton, and C.L. Moore all have in common that they were science-fiction writers. They also were all female and they began writing in a time when it was difficult to sell science-fiction books under a female name. At least that's what editors and publishers (who were almost all male) thought. Whether or not they were right, I can.t say. Perhaps there were studies done to prove the point, but maybe it was simply a self-fulfilling prophecy. You can only buy what.s on the market and if most or all of the books available are by authors with non-female sounding names, the sales records will show that male authored books are what sell. We are supposed to be past all that kind of foolishness in the science-fiction field now and women are valued, respected, have equal ...

Noted illustrator and sometime comics artist Jeffrey Catherine Jones died yesterday of complications from emphysema.
In comics, her work appeared in Heavy Metal, the various Warren magazines, Epic Illustrated, and many, many others. Committing herself to illustration in general and expressionism in specific, she was a member of the legendary Studio along with Michael Kaluta, Barry Windsor-Smith and Bernie Wrightson. Jones’ illustrations graced a great many science fantasy novels (Michael Moorcock, Dean Koontz, Fritz Lieber, Andre Norton, and others) and magazines as well as publications such as The National Lampoon.
Her work has been reprinted in a number of albums, most recently Idw’s Jeffrey Jones: A Life In Art. This ironically titled tome was released at the beginning of this year.
Jones married Mary Louise Alexander (now Louise Simonson) in 1966 and had a daughter, Julianna, the following year. In 2001 Jeffrey had gender reassignment surgery. In recent years she suffered from numerous ailments,...

Jack Campbell is the pseudonym for John G. Hemry, a retired Naval officer and graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. As Jack Campbell, he writes The Lost Fleet series of military science fiction novels. He also wrote the Stark’s War and Paul Sinclair series under his real name.
Often compared to Battlestar Galactica and StarGate Universe, The Lost Fleet follows Captain John “Black Jack” Geary and the stranded Alliance fleet as they retreat home across the enemy star system. The first three books in the series – Dauntless, Fearless, and Courageous – have been released in paperback in the UK by Titan Books, who very kindly sent us a copy of Dauntless for review. So impressed were we by the book, that we tracked down author Jack Campbell for an interview.
1. Dauntless throws the reader right in at the deep end, starting with the aftermath of a pitched battle.

Cj Cherryh has been in front of a great many themes now commonplace at ComicCon and elsewhere. Readers and fans have acknowledged her chops by voting her three Hugo Awards, three Nebula Awards, and fistfuls of other accolades over an illustrious thirty-year career. Her worlds of the imagination range from deep space to the Russian forests, from the intricacies of the human heart to the vaudeville of Hell itself. Her novels Downbelow Station, Finity’s End, Cyteen and others, set during the “Company Wars” of the 25th Century, built up a gritty, realistic universe of working men and women surpassing the similar visions of the Alien series or Blade Runner. Cyteen is, in this writer’s opinion, the finest exploration of the ramifications of human cloning yet written. Her Foreigner series has long explored the conflicted loyalties of a human envoy to an alien world, while her Fortress in the...

The Box Of Paperbacks Book Club: The X Factor by Andre Norton (1965) (Not long ago, A.V. Club editor Keith Phipps purchased a large box containing over 75 vintage science fiction, crime, and adventure paperbacks. He is reading all of them. This is book number 37.) “The golden age of comics is five,” goes an old quote variously attributed to Roy Thomas and Comics Buyer’s Guide editor (and friend of the column) Maggie Thompson. I’d argue that the golden age of science fiction is roughly around 12 or 13. Or at least that’s when the stuff grabbed me hardest. Star Trek was a gateway drug that led to Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 that led to Arthur C. Clarke that led to Isaac Asimov to the too-heady-for-me-at-the-time Stanislaw Lem and so on and so forth. That interest didn’t blossom into a lifelong love, however. By the end...
