Hi, Evan, I'd like to join the book club since one of the genres I enjoy
reading is science fiction. Couldn't I get to the Bookshare community room
via www.accessibleworld.org? Regards, Kim aka Ellinder.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Next Meeting of the Science Fiction Club,
Thursday, July 11, 2009


The next meeting of the Science Fiction Club will be on Thursday, July 11,
2009 in the Bookshare Community Room at:
 
Time: 6 PM Pacific, 7 PM Mountain, 8 PM Central, and 9 PM Eastern time.
 
This month, we are reading The Unreasoning Mask by Philip José Farmer--a
"far future space adventure", according to the dust jacket; available on
tape from NLS under book number RC 65577, and also for digital download at:
http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.nls/db.65577
 
Also available from Bookshare at:
http://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/5507/The%2BUnreasoning%2BMask%20?return
Path=L3NlYXJjaD9rZXl3b3JkPXBoaWxpcCBqb3NlIGZhcm1lciY%3D#mainContent
 
Unfortunately, however, it is listed as only Fair.
 
Here is the synopsis from the dust jacket:
The Unreasoning Mask is the story of Ramstan, captain of al-Buraq, a rare
model starship. It is capable of
alaraf drive: instantaneous travel between two points of space. Three of
these special
ships were built to explore and make contact with the many sentient races
inhabiting
the universe. Suddenly, one of the ships mysteriously disappears. And then
it is
discovered that an unidentifiable "creature" is marauding through the
universe, totally
annihilating intelligent life on planet after planet. Ranstan, a thoughtful
and moral
man, becomes a fascinated yet reluctant pawn in the hands of the strange
forces which
arise to fight the deadly destroyer. Ultimately, he is the one man who, in a
fearful
race against time, can stop the destruction. But what price must he pay for
becoming
the savior of intelligent-kind? The Unreasoning Mask is Farmer at his
best--fast-paced,
complex, slightly mystical, high-action adventure.

Hope to see lots of people there!
 
Evan
