Coming to you in Analog
TOF's great opus "Nexus", a novella length something or other, has the cover in the March/April issue of Analog. Woo Hoo.Also on the Analog web site is an extensive excerpt from the aforesaid tale. Read it and weep. Or else go out and buy the issue on sale now.
Future expectations
relating to Things Flynnic, dates subject to change:- Sep/Oct: "Viktor Frankenstein's Bar and Grill and 24-Hour Roadside Emporium"
- Nov/Dec: "Laminated Moose Zombies and Other Road Maintenance Problems"
(w/Dennis M. Flynn) - Jan/Feb: "The Journeyman: Through Madness Gap"
A possible award or more for NEXUS? I wouldn't be surprised, as I stopped and immediately reread the first three and on-half pages, a gloriously marvelous introduction to this story of time travel, immortal life, and competing alien interests. Flynn's novella displays his talented imagination of characters, an unnerving ability to grow suspense, and occasional humorous editorial asides. No other story (near 20 in the current Analog SF& Fact) comes close to matching Flynn's writing skills in NEXUS. Oh, and the editor also must have agreed as NEXUS is the featured and first story in the 208-page March/April issue.
