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?returnPath=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
