"I loved it. Great 'hard' science fiction with convincing space battles. "−Larry Niven, Grand Master (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association) and author of RingworldTwo-time Sidewise Award-winning author, Alan Smale, brings us an exciting alternate 1979 where the US and the Soviets have permanent Moon bases, orbiting space stations, and crewed spy satellites supported by frequent rocket launches.Apollo32, commanded by career astronaut Vivian Carter, docks at NASA's Columbia space station en route to its main mission: exploring the volcanic Marius Hills region of the Moon. Vivian is caught in the crossfire as four Soviet Soyuzcraft appear without warning to assault the orbiting station. In an unplanned and desperate move, Vivian spacewalks through hard vacuum back to her Lunar Module and crew and escapes right before the station falls into Soviet hands.Their original mission scrubbed, Vivian and her crew are redirected to land at Hadley Base, a NASA scientific outpost with a crew of eighteen. But soon Hadley, too, will come under Soviet attack, forcing its unarmed astronauts to daring acts of ingenuity and improvisation.With multiple viewpoints, shifting from American to Soviet perspective, from occupied space station to American Moon base under siege, to a covert and blistering US Air Force military response, Hot Moon tells the gripping story of a war in space that very nearly might have been.

"In a Solar System well inhabited by humanity but far from settled, a gang of grifters and thieves -- the scattered survivors of a big job gone very wrong ten years ago -- must reunite to break the gang's erstwhile leader out of captivity. But after ten years, no one is who they were... and some are not what they seem. The Kuiper Belt Job is a caper story in space, a mash-up of Firefly, Leverage, and The Expanse. It's an ensemble piece with complex character relationships and a twisty, compelling plot, but beneath the entertaining surface it raises deep questions about identity and personhood. In a world where minds can be copied, what does it mean to be "me"?"--

But what each and every interview will do is give you a unique insight into the genre and the lives of these giants of the industry.
