Really? You don't want to read something written by a guy who is considered one of the top sci-fi writers, was awarded the first ever Hugo Award (and nominated for several others), and is in the Science Fiction Hall of Fame?Chiclo wrote:Not sure if I really want to read something written by Alfred Bester but I'll give it a shot.

For those who have not read it... here is JC's article on Atlas Seaboard that saw print in CBM #77
Atlas, the second time around

I love the Atlas story and getting to see these characters (more than likely very different characters than from their Atlas days) in stories again will have a nice nostalgic feel to it... as long as it is done well. The cover art looks pretty snazzy though.
I always liked Targitt and The Scorpion.
Great article JC !!!

Hadn't seen these covers yet. I'm lukewarm on them. They really speak to a lot of change coming, which I should've been braced for.TheVisitor wrote:
