SF Signal today has posted a review of George Mann's anthology "The Solaris Book of New Science Fiction, Volume Two," which you'll recall contains my story "Mathralon," which you'll recall is available online.
- Money, Madness, and Munchausen • April 26, 2008
The 20th anniversary edition of "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" delivers everything you expect in a Terry Gilliam film: visual surrealism, distrust of authority, antipathy to soulless reason, and a skewed sense of humor, plus an inside look at the Hollywood squabbling behind the movie.

Nick Sagan, author of "Idlewild," "Edenborn," and "Everfree," screenwriter for "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Star Trek: Voyager," and former child ambassador to the universe on the Voyager Golden Record, has read and blurbed my novels "Infoquake" and "MultiReal."
- The Agony Column on “MultiReal” • April 21, 2008
Just happened to catch the latest Agony Column from the incomparable Rick Kleffel, and he's chosen to headline today with a brief look at "MultiReal." I'm unclear whether Rick has actually read the book yet, but he's taken the occasion to say some nice things about the Jump 225 trilogy in general.
