Maria Lectrix podcast: Legacy by James H. Schmitz
Maureen O’Brien has been quietly podcasting since September 2005, we’ve been talking about her since October 2006 when she podcast her first public domain SF novel. Since then she’s narrated an impressive collection: The Lani People by J.F. Bone, The Devolutionist by Homer Eon Flint, Star Hunter by Andre Norton, Little Fuzzy by H. Beam Piper and Dawn of Flame by Stanley G. Weinbaum. Her latest novel is one from our SFFaudio Challenge…Maureen sez of it:
“Legacy (aka A Tale of Two Clocks) is a darned good book by one of my favorite SF authors, James H. Schmitz. He’s best known for his Telzey Amberdon psi sci-fi stories (set in the same Galactic Hub as Legacy and including some of the same characters) and his very funny space opera The Witches of Karres. This book is a sequel to the short story “Harvest Time”, but you don’t have to read that first to understand this book. (I didn’t read it till after.) So welcome to the Hub, and say hello to your new friend, Trigger Argee! She’s not in the best mood when we first meet her, but you’ll like her even so.”
Six, of a total of 29 chapters, are out already…
Legacy

Strange ancient machines possessing vast power have been discovered. Ruthless people want to control them.

Trigger Argee just wants to go home and see her boyfriend — but first, she’s got a lot of mess to sort out.

Star Ship Sofa: Fiction, and talk about it par excellence
Relentless blog-whore that he is, I gave my good buddy Tony Smith the task of writing up a bit about the latest offerings on his Star Ship Sofa podcast. Here’s what Tony (who thinks he can’t write) wrote:
“Following on from the brilliant series of Michael Moorcock stories, the one and only StarShipSofa has gone and got themselves a darn fine futuristic story by 2007 Hugo Nominee, Peter Watts… and if that wasn’t enough, hasn’t Peter Watts narrated this story himself and he also gives a small insight into how this particular tale came about. If you have not already subscribed to the StarShipSofa, then I urge all to do so. They have some fine tales due out soon from the likes of Harry Harrison, Kevin J Anderson, John Varley, Bradley Denton, Pat Murphy and Bruce Sterling among others – so be warned – subscribe or miss out on some fine oral delights!”
I love how Tony talks, and guess what, he writes just like how he talks – “oral delights” – just what kind of show is this?
Star Ship Sofa has consistently proved that it is THE podcast place in which you’ll find discussion of SF authors and their works. At this very moment I’m listening to Tony talk knowledgeably about Hal Clement (Show #73 |MP3|) – for some reason his sidekick, the unflappable Ciaran O’Carroll is absent from the latest show).
