The Opium of the People revisited

 

The U.S. government has been overthrown! After a near-miss of a giant comet, the American people fall under the control of a radical right-wing fundamentalist Christian government, ruled by the Grand Patriarchs, that slowly strips away their freedoms and establishes a rule of law that even Hitler couldn’t have dreamed up. Forced into virtual seclusion, Edward Silverberg, a former professor, finds himself on a path that will lead to either his destruction, or the destruction of the Grand Patriarchs…or maybe both.

Yours, Isaac Asimov

 

Many people feel that you can get to know an author by reading their fiction, and this is most certainly true, but reading memoirs or letters that the author wrote is also a great way to get to know the author...maybe an even better way, as you're seeing them for themselves, rather than the fiction that they're creating. Contrary to popular belief, not every character in a story is some part of the author's psyche, and not every story is the author trying to get their point across about something that they believe in. Sometimes we write stories or create characters because those are the stories or characters that come to us.

Anyone that has read my work has to know that Isaac Asimov was a huge influence on me...probably the biggest influence, especially in my earlier work. One reviewer once made a comment that my work was reminiscent of the classics without the scientific clunkiness that their work now seems to have. So, when I had a chance to pick up this book and read letters that were actually written by Asimov himself, I had to jump at the chance, and I was not disappointed.

These letters will give you insight into the man as an author, teacher, family man, and so much more. Edited by his brother, the collection really gives you a look at the man behind the stories. If you're any kind of Asimov fan, you have to pick this book up.

Marionettes on the Moon, and other stories

 

As I continue my transformation to a self-published author, I've now republished one of my first short story collections, Marionettes on the Moon, and other stories. I've included the original 13 stories in the collection, with a few changes, but I've added two more stories to the collection. You also get "It's in the Water" from the Divided States of America series and "Mission Unknown" from my Solar Federation series, both of which certainly qualify for the theme of this collection...

The Back Cover Blurb: Do Humans control their destiny, or are they merely victims of the circumstances that surround them?

A collection of short stories from prize winning SF author J Alan Erwine examines whether we have freedom of choice, or are merely puppets on strings subject to the whims of the universe.

This newly reworked version of Marionettes on the Moon features the original 13 short stories, plus two recent releases.
