Now, with the Diving Pairs volumes, WMG Publishing offers complementary books that, together, tell more of the story than each book alone. BoneyardsStealth tech: a lost science everyone wants to reclaim. The woman who helped Boss dive the Dignity Vessel, known then as Squishy, claims a long and storied history with stealth tech.

Coop and Boss want to keep stealth tech out of the Empire's hands, too, but for different reasons. "Stealth tech" powers Coop's ship in the form of its anacapa drive. A drive that malfunctioned, leaving Coop and his crew stranded. But to find a way home, he must know what happened in the past. When Squishy's actions threaten Coop's mission, he must make a choice-help Boss attack the Empire, or risk losing his hope for a future.

Death on D Street

Comme Elmore Leonard et Donald Westlake et Robert B. Parker et oh tant d'autres, je veux mourir avec mes bottes, face à mon clavier si possible, au milieu d'une phrase.

Rod Clark a l'une des voix les plus uniques que j'aie jamais rencontrées. Je cite toujours certaines de ses idées politiques des années plus tard. Le faire écrire de la science-fiction politique est à la fois approprié et intrigant.

Les pires situations du monde commencent toujours par les mots, «croyez-moi».

Peut-être que la vraie foi est une forme de folie.

Je suis l'un des hérétiques qui croit que l'art doit être apprécié en premier et analysé plus tard.

La seule façon de construire une base de fans est d'avoir beaucoup de matériel à trouver pour les lecteurs. Vous ne pouvez pas fabriquer une base de ventilateurs. Vous le créez, une histoire à la fois.

Les rebelles apprennent mieux les règles que les régimes. Les rebelles apprennent où se trouvent les trous, où les règles peuvent être violées. Devenir un expert des règles. Ensuite, cassez-les avec créativité et style.

Notre subconscient fonctionne dans les métaphores, les histoires et le jeu de mots. C'est pourquoi une histoire ou un film particulier peut signifier plus pour certaines personnes qu'à d'autres. Avez-vous réfléchi à pourquoi vous recherchez cette histoire maintenant?

Comme l'un de mes professeurs d'écriture créatif l'a dit un jour, il n'y a que sept parcelles. Ce qui rend ces parcelles différentes, c'est la façon dont vous les gérez, votre voix, votre style et votre façon de penser. C'est tout. Les gens peuvent imiter votre style, mais ils ne peuvent jamais atteindre votre point de vue unique.
