Another older post that I think may still be worth a look...

Something from 2011 that, to my despair, remains all too trenchant.

Highlights etc... @markwt.bsky.social @dougfranklin.bsky.social @haydent.bsky.social Sean Monaghan Ian Baaske Benjamin Kinney Frank Ward Philip Brian Hall Rich Larson @geoffhart1962.bsky.social Joe Haldeman Ernest Taves Robert F. Young Alex Irvine Lucius Shepard Sally Gwylan Stephen Baxter

3) Sin Eaters by @markwt.bsky.social : aliens arrive on Earth, establish diplomatic relations. Their kids are kidnapped, then freed. Aliens won’t press charges. Finest human minds struggle to understand why. Good exploration of guilt, atonement, motives

2026 full speed ahead!

Happy January 2nd.
