Hello Folks,After a bit of shrinkage over the holidays, we've gotten back to a good showing at our most recent meeting. Despite a quibble or two, nearly all of us liked our book, Neptune Crossing by Jeffrey A. Carver, the first book in the Chaos Chronicles series. In fact, we liked it enough to decide to read the second installment for this month, Strange Attractors. The next meeting of the Science Fiction Club will be on Thursday, February 14, 2013.Place, Book Nook at:http://conference321.com/masteradmin/room.asp?id=rs7867a2369e0e <http://conference321.com/masteradmin/room.asp?id=rs7867a2369e0e>Time: 9 PM Eastern, 8 PM Central, 7 PM Mountain, 6 PM Pacific, and 02:00 UTC. Our book, Strange Attractors, is available from Bookshare and BARD. The Publisher Quality Bookshare version is at:https://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/223084 <https://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/223084>The BARD version can be downloaded at: http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.nls/db.49762 <http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.nls/db.49762> Here's the NLS synopsis: In Neptune Crossing (DB 39793), John Bandicut saved the Earth from a comet but lost his alien friend Charlie in the process. Now John awakens to find himself stranded in an artificial structure, Shipworld, with two humanoids and a new alien friend, IK, who wants John for a new mission.Here's a brief review from Library Journal taken from Amazon's page for this book: John Bandicut's close encounter with and possession by an alien intelligence transports him from his galaxy to a distant and unfathomable world on the edge of destruction. Continuing the story begun in Neptune Crossing (LJ 3/15/94), Carver's latest novel showcases his own fertile imagination and his talent for creating a host of engagingly sympathetic characters. The vivid descriptions and unusual predicaments encountered by Bandicut and his alien-in-residence cohort "Charlie" transcend the predictablespace-opera storyline.There are nearly five weeks until the next meeting, and these books are not long. So if you haven't read the first one, you've got plenty of time to read it and then the second one. Hope you decide to give it a try and come to the next meeting to talk about it with us.Evan
