Five SF Stories That Embrace the Scientifically Improbable Reactionless Drive

Tales of the Flying Mountains cover art by Bob Layzell (Tor Books, 1984)
Recently, physicists around the world were astounded to learn that painstaking testing of the visionary EmDrive revealed that the device produces no discernable thrust. By “astounded,” I mean “not astounded” and by “visionary,” I mean “almost certainly nonsensical from word one.” A cynical physicist might say the EmDrive produces thrust by violating conservation of momentum. This is unfair, because the EmDrive does not produce thrust at all.
One can understand the attraction of a reactionless drive. It comes down to the rocket equation, which presents steely-eyed rocket persons with a choice between annoyingly limited delta- ....

Five SFF Works That Put Bards Center Stage

Having recently divested herself of a boyfriend whose pretty face concealed for a time his dud personality, Eddi McCandry no doubt intended to focus on mundane goals, like finding or assembling a new band. Getting drafted into a war between fairy courts was not on the to-do list, not least because as far as Eddi knew, fairies are the stuff of, well, fairy tales.
But the fairies believe in Eddi. They believe her music could be a powerful weapon in their ongoing struggle. The Seelie Court reaches out to recruit Eddi, deploying all the charm one might expect of entities with a shaky grasp of human nature and customs. ....

Paul Di Filippo Reviews The Society of Time by John Brunner

Was John Brunner’s life a tragedy? In some undeniable senses, yes. Possessed of enormous talents, but also an array of character faults, he became his own worst enemy and his later-era career suffered immensely in large part due to one poor decision to stake too much effort and hopes on a mainstream novel that took too long to write and then failed to sell (
The Great Steamboat Race). And atop those business setbacks, his health was poor and he died awfully young only age 60 in a cosmically apt but somewhat inglorious setting: the 1995 Worldcon.
But on the other hand, now that we have passed the 25th anniversary of his death, the personal details of his life the mortal horrors and human mundanities recede somewhat from the foreground of his biography, and the mountain ranges of his books remain. Thus it is with every writer, great and small, in their posthumous days. And so we can now see that Brunner’s life was, using this perspective, consequential and victorious, no ....

Chilly Winter Books to Read by a Roaring Fire

If you want to truly embrace the terror and beauty of winter, a Russian-inflected modern folktale should do the trick. In Katherine Arden’s
The Bear and the Nightingale we meet Vasilisa Petrovna, who has no wish to marry. She grew up on tales of Frost Demons, rusalka, all that is wild and magical in the dark and frozen forests including the great Bear, who is gathering his power in the darkness beyond the village. Enter the stepmother, who agrees with the village priests that following the ancient ways will lead to Hell; she wants to see her new daughters packed off to convents, where devotion to God will cure them, or wed, where lives as wives will keep them too busy to bother with uncanny spirits and old lore. When a blizzard freezes the village, everyone Vasya loves faces certain starvation. The young woman will have to defy her stepmother and the priest to ally with every “demonic” force who’s willing to help her before the Bear destroys them all. ....

Paul Di Filippo Reviews The Best of Walter Jon Williams by Walter Jon Williams

The Best of Walter Jon Williams, Walter Jon Williams (Subterranean 978-1-64524-002-0, $45, 616pp, hardcover) February 2021
A writer always feels an instinctive camaraderie with other writers who debuted more or less simultaneously with one’s own beginnings. This does not mean that all writers in a given generation love and admire each other unconditionally, but only that a person recognizes and bonds more readily with other members of their own generation. It’s a realization that our paths are parallel, a shared journey and, with luck, of similar extension. We all kicked off at the same starting line, and we will all finish up around the same time, getting to see entire careers, side by side and from start to finish. We were not present at the commencement of the careers of our elders (although we might have shared their later years), and we will not live to see the whole careers of our juniors. But this particular assortment of scribblers, bound by a chance coincidence of ....
