Robert J. Sawyer has written a sequel to his bestselling The Downloaded. This one adds complications and piles Pelion upon Ossa to the hapless victims… er, I mean protagonists of The Downloaded. It’s a fun and exciting book because of the writing, which is crisp and never stops moving. I heartily recommend it.

The recent Netflix movie War Machine is an action/science fiction movie, full of the usual stuff action movies are full of. I call it a “popcorn” movie, because it’s the kind of movie you sit down with a drink (soft or otherwise) and a bowl/container of popcorn to watch. Nothing intellectual or deep, but a lot of fun.
Steve has been an active fan since the 1970s, when he founded the Palouse Empire Science Fiction Association (PESFA) and the more-or-less late MosCon in Pullman, WA and Moscow, ID, though he started reading SF/F in the early-to-mid 1950s, when he was just a sprat. He moved to Canada in 1985 and quickly became involved with chairing or helping run Canadian cons, including ConText (’89 and ’81) and VCON. As a fan, he’s published a Hugo-nominated (one nomination) fanzine, New Venture, and he’s founded two writing groups (Writers’ Bloc and Writers of the Lost, Ink). He’s emceed and auctioned art at many West Coast and Northwest conventions including one Westercon. As a writer, he’s published a couple of books and a number of short stories (including one in Compostella [Tesseracts 20], and has collaborated with his two-time Aurora-winning wife Lynne Taylor Fahnestalk on a number of art projects. As of this writing he’s the proofreader for R. Graeme Cameron’s Polar Borealis and Rhea Rose’s Polar Starlight publications. He’s been writing for Amazing Stories off and on since the early 1980s. His column can be found on Amazing Stories most Fridays.
