		<description><![CDATA[Stephen King isn&#8217;t a good Sci-Fi writer, he&#8217;s a great Sci-Fi writer. In what I&#8217;m hoping will be a fantastic return to his epic and massive early &#8220;The Stand&#8221; period, we will soon be enjoying &#8220;Under The Dome&#8221;, a story of a small Maine town that gets bubbled by forces unknown.
The bigger Steve&#8217;s books get the better they get. For Stephen King to do his best work requires him to get really excited and over the top. &#8220;Under The Dome&#8221; will be 1088 pages and is going to be a great and juicy read. Book trailers seem to the latest marketing thing and I have to say I like them. It can be useful in visualizing what you&#8217;re in for or pushing you over into Amazon or Barnes if you&#8217;re on the fence. Here&#8217;s the book trailer for Dome, enjoy.

		<description><![CDATA[The town of Chester&#8217;s Mill, ME is changed forever on October 21st, when an invisible force field materializes to quarantine it from the rest of humanity. Not truly a dome as the title suggests, the mysterious barrier is more like a capsule that fits exactly over the town&#8217;s borders. 
The &#8220;dome&#8221; is 47,000 feet high, and extends far below the town as well. Pollutants begin to gather on the barrier, eventually giving it the look of a dirty windshield as the story progresses. Near its base, the &#8220;dome&#8221; emits a low level electronic frequency that gives anyone with a pacemaker a nasty surprise when it explodes in their chest. The barrier is as strong as it is thorough, it can withstand aircraft and cars collisions; rifle shots and cruise missiles tipped with bunker buster warheads are equally ineffective.
The military forms a perimeter around Chester Mills, and further cuts off the town from the rest of the world by shutting down [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are like me and dream of someday stalking Mr. King until, desperate to expunge his nightmares of my torment he is forced to write a book about me, then you too are eagerly awaiting his soon to be bitchin new novel &#8220;Under The Dome&#8221;.
Under The Dome will be, I am told from excellent sources (gophers) a ridiculously awesome story of a town rendered isolated by a giant dome of crazy Sci-Fi origins. Inside are the usual frightened small town group of folks Mr. King writes about so well. The book is going to be huge and stressy, along the lines of The Stand. A book that really floated my boat. I look to Under The Dome for further boat floatage. Steve has been kind of aiming his pitches lately, he needs to get back to basics and for him that means, epic, weird and long. I am the faithful reader ladies and gentleman of the Sci-Fi community, in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello nerds, geeks and poindexters of the world. Hold on to your pocket protector and thick rimmed glasses held together with tape because there is cause to rejoice.
In case you didn&#8217;t know already, Oxford University Press release the first ever science fiction dictionary entitled Brave New Words in April of this year. The first thing that hits you is the title and how it is in itself a clever play on words. Lovely. Here are some of the features;
* First citation-based dictionary of science fiction terms
* The first historical dictionary devoted entirely to science fiction, illustrating the significant effect that the language of science fiction has had on the English language as a whole
* Each entry includes both definitions and extensive historical citations of the word&#8217;s usage
* The New England Science Fiction Association has provided editorial oversight through an advisory board
* Contents include more than 3,000 terms, short notes about groups of related terms, a bibliography, and an introduction by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was never one of those guys who devoured sci-fi magazines like a fat kid and cake, so I can&#8217;t really say I&#8217;m all that bothered by this news that sci-fi magazine Starlog has decided to cease publication of its print version and will instead go exclusively online. Hey, why not join the party, right? But I&#8217;m sure this will be a disappointing to those of you who have read the magazine through the years.
Here&#8217;s the news from Starlog itself earlier last week:
STARLOG.com has relaunched in beta! As a part of our massive digital initiative, STARLOG.com has returned to the web to bring you the best original content pertaining to the worlds of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Comic Entertainment.

		<description><![CDATA[Let me preface this post with the following warning. I am a huge fan of Stephen King. I grew up with his books, reading many of them many times. I think I learned a great deal about how to be a better man from the voyages into the weird that I followed him on. Though the subject matter might have disturbed my grandmother, it was Mr. King&#8217;s descriptions of small town life and practical guy ethics that juiced the overhead light-bulb for me.
Mr. King has written some great science fiction. The Stand is the best post apocalyptic novel of all time in my estimation and Tommyknockers is among the very best close encounters books ever.
According to Stephen&#8217;s website, we are about to be treated to another epic. Here&#8217;s the official synopsis direct from his official site.
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester’s Mills, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s nothing tastier for the hardened Sci-Fi lover than a bracing dose of Apocalyptic literature. For me and my inner nerd, these books occupy the dual roles of entertainment and potential skill training. Like nerds everywhere, I am always on the watch for the Not-Known.
If you can&#8217;t be handsome, you might as well be handy.
Handy requires a nerd to be attentive to his or her due diligence with respect to studying many things post Apocalyptic. With your best interests and education in mind, please find below your reading lists for your brain hemispheres labeled fun or functionality. The first link is a super comprehensive listing that goes back all the way to 1885. The second link reviews 4 newer guides to a myriad of fictional doomsday scenarios. Will there be a test? If a Nerd isn&#8217;t ready, who will be?

		<description><![CDATA[David Hughes is a master at describing the &#8220;thrill of victory and the agony of defeat&#8221; that is the Hollywood movie mill.  It takes a certain amount of skill to discuss a blockbuster that might have been in a way that leaves you wanting to find a way to buy the rights, get funding and shoot the damned thing yourself.  The reality is people with a lot more experience, money and even enthusiasm have tried&#8230; and, in some cases, are still trying.  Hughes, who also wrote Tales From Development Hell: Movie Making The Hard Way,  does a masterful job of getting you right in the middle of all the fuss in his recently updated and re-released book The Greatest Sci-Fi Movies Never Made from Titan Books. 
From the Foreword by legendary artist H.R. Giger (complete with several paragraphs complaining about his involvement in several near misses) to the Afterword by Harry Knowles, founder of the website [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What science fiction fan doesn&#8217;t know the name Arthur C. Clarke? If you count yourself among that group, then it&#8217;s time to bash your head in with a rock, because you don&#8217;t deserve to call yourself a sci-fi fan. Unfortunately there is bad news from the world of sci-fi books, as Arthur C. Clarke, author of many classics including &#8220;Childhood&#8217;s End&#8221; in 1953, &#8220;The City and The Stars&#8221; in 1956, &#8220;The Nine Billion Names of God&#8221; in 1967, &#8220;Rendezvous with Rama&#8221; in 1973, &#8220;Imperial Earth&#8221; in 1975, and &#8220;The Songs of Distant Earth&#8221; in 1986. His genius wasn&#8217;t just limited to books; he also co-wrote the 1968 screenplay for &#8220;2001: A Space Odyssey&#8221; with director with Stanley Kubrick.
More:
Arthur C. Clarke, a visionary science fiction writer who co-wrote &#8220;2001: A Space Odyssey&#8221; and won worldwide acclaim with more than 100 books on space, science and the future, died Wednesday, an aide said. He was 90.
Clarke, who had battled debilitating post-polio syndrome [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a soft spot for Kenneth Johnson&#8217;s original &#8220;V&#8221; mini-series, aka &#8220;V: The Original Miniseries&#8221;. In fact, I have a soft spot for Ken himself. Once, a while back, after viewing the &#8220;V&#8221; DVD, I emailed Ken and, to my astonishment, actually got a response. Now, Ken returns with &#8220;V: The Second Generation&#8221;, a novel that picks up 20 years after the events of the first &#8220;V&#8221; mini-series, but not &#8220;V: The Final Battle&#8221; mini-series, which Ken was not involved in. And oh yeah, forget the crappy TV show; it has nothing to do with &#8220;Second Generation&#8221;, either.
Ken recently talked with AICN about the novel. Here&#8217;s how he describes it:
&#8230;what I wanted to do was literally pick up the story 20 yrs later and see what had become of the people that we loved or the villains that we hated…and how the Earth had changed. It continues to be a metaphoric allegory piece that I hope people will get [...]]]></description>
