Hello Folks,
A great turnout at our most recent meeting. Opinions of our anthology,
Twenty-First Century Science Fiction, were varied; but everyone found
something to like in the book. For this month, with the busy holiday season
upon us, we turn to something much shorter, and much lighter. We'll be
reading Rivers of Time by L. Sprague De Camp.
The next meeting of the Science Fiction club will be on Thursday, January 8,
2015.
Place: Book Nook at:

Here is the NLS annotation:
Nine stories in which Reginald Rivers, or his partner the Raja, whisks
groups of people back in time to hunt for dinosaurs. In "Crocamander Quest,"
they unfortunately transport a woman who wants to bed all the men in the
party. In "The Satanic Illusion," a fundamentalist minister wants to
disprove evolution, and in "The Honeymoon Dragon," Rivers takes his wife on
a trip for their twentieth anniversary.
And here is the Long Synopsis from Bookshare's version:
Have gun, will time travel. 9 short stories about Reginald Rivers and his
safaris to hunt big game millions of years in the past--dinosaurs!
Come and have some fun discussing this book with us in January, as we start
off another new year reading a wide variety of great Science Fiction, old
and new, modern and classic.
