Blog postWith the release of my latest First Contact novel, Wherever Seeds May Fall, on January 22, I thought it would be interesting to look at the Top Ten First Contact novels. I’ve tried to work in a few outsiders amidst the predictable classics of the genre.
SPOILER ALERT: Rather than discussing the novels in what amounts to a broad outline akin to a synopsis, I’ll be talking about why they make the list, which may involve spoilers but is far more interesting.

Blog postWhich is better? The book or the movie of the book?
Most movies and television series are made-for-the-screen, but occasionally books are converted into movies/series and the inevitable question arises—which is better?
A couple of years ago, this was an easy question to answer—the book. But producers and directors have lifted their game and an interesting trend has emerged. Now, books are often considered “source material.” Rather than trying to translate from one medium to an -
Blog postThe answer should be obvious
Yes!
Of course there’s life in space—that’s where Earth is!
Our planet is one teeny, tiny corner of an astonishingly vast universe. This might sound like a cheat/cheap answer, but it’s genuine. Earth is absolute proof life can thrive on an obscure planet in deep space!
We’re all astronauts on Starship Earth!
From our anthropomorphic self-centered perspective, we like to make a distinction between Ea -

Blog postAmerica won the Second World War on the back of its manufacturing.
Although wars require soldiers and weapons, ultimately, wars are won by endurance. When it came to World War II, the US economy outproduced its enemies. A single Chrysler factory in Detroit produced more tanks than the entire Third Reich. Ford’s Willow Run Plant rolled a B-24 Liberator bomber off its production line every two hours.

Blog postAlthough a post about religion might seem unusual for a blog about science and science fiction, it is relevant as the majority of people on Earth believe in one God or another.
I’m not religious, but I respect those that find comfort in their beliefs and act with kindness and compassion toward others, making the world a better, brighter place. We need more love, not less.
Religious beliefs, though, should be in harmony with science. If they’re not, we’ve got a serious problem. -
Blog postCOVID-19 is heartbreaking, ravaging our world and killing tens of thousands. As there’s no vaccine, the only effective strategy to contain its exponential growth is to self-isolate and stay at home.
There’s not much a science fiction writer can do beyond encourage people to listen to the experts and wash their hands, but I thought I could help with a #StayHome #ReadAtHome campaign.
Not my library, but oh, how I wish…
Here’s how it works… for the next 40 days, there wil -

Blog postDr. Phil Metzger is a Planetary scientist at the University of Central Florida and CoFounder of NASA KSC SwampWorks. In a recent tweet thread he talked about the danger of dust being kicked up when landing on the Moon.
Dust? Really? So a spacecraft kicks up a little dust while landing. What’s the big deal? As you’ll see in this article. Something as trivial as dust can be problematic for future missions.

Blog postWill AI replace doctors? Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an emerging field of computer programming that is already changing the way we interact online and in real life, but the term ‘intelligence’ has been poorly defined. Rather than focusing on smarts, researchers should be looking at the implications and viability of artificial consciousness as that’s the real driver behind intelligent decisions.
Consciousness rather than intelligence should be the true measure of AI. At the moment
