WEDNESDAY, January 31st at 7pm: More FRACTURED SYMMETRY

Corwyn Allen continues a second adventure from Fernando Salazar's collection of Sci-Fi-Fantasy short stories: FRACTURED SYMMETRY.

"Science fiction murder mystery short stories, with Nero Wolfe re-imagined as an alien (which explains a lot).

"In the far future, on another planet, a variety of alien races co-exist (including humans). Reclusive genius Terendurr and his human sidekick Blair solve a number of baffling crimes.

"The premise and main characters here have been lifted from the Nero Wolfe stories, but cleverly adapted. Nero Wolfe himself is an alien (which makes a lot of sense) and his sidekick is a human woman (a great idea). The result is a really enjoyable read: great characters, distinctly alien aliens, and engaging mysteries, all very well written and edited. My only issue was that I’ve never read the Nero Wolfe stories, so I wasn’t sure what here was original and what not. Obviously, the science fiction content is new and I assume the plots are mostly original."

TUESDAY, January 16th at 7PM: FRACTURED SYMMETRY Continues

Author Fernando Salazar brings an eclectic background to his writing: A life-long interest in

medieval history, 10+ years intense martial arts training, an early career as a biology researcher, and a later career as a software products developer, a love of wines and cooking, 2 years living and working in India, a somewhat maddening fixation with golf, and a regular program of re-reading the works of Jack Vance and Patrick O’Brien. His writing projects range from scattered one-off SF and Fantasy stories, to the obligatory serial novels.

Blair MacAllister and his Boss investigate mysteries based on science, in a setting that brings them into contact with all the main races of Civspace. Will Blair prove as durable as her boss?

TUESDAY, January 9th at 7pm: More from FRACTURED SYMMETRY

Blair MacAlister is an expert at Judo, a credible AI hacker, and a certified pilot of craft atmospheric and interstellar. Her favorite weapon is sarcasm, or failing that, her ever-present blaster. Her boss is Terendurr the Black Stone: technical wizard, expert in the ethnography of myriad races, fancier of rare foods and wines, and even rarer fractalites. An Entharion Quadromorph, exiled from his homeworld and under constant threat of assassination, he is also somewhat irritable.

Together they investigate mysteries based on science, in a setting that brings them into contact with all the main races of Civspace: The mysterious Junn, the affable but biologically intense Raylics, the chaotic and powerful Oro-Ka, the commercial minded Keret, and the cynical Phair. At the center of their cases are transformative genetic therapies, unlikely fossils, the linked neurology of symbiotes, and more. Terendurr is over 300 years old and has seen and endured the worst and strangest the galaxy has to offer. Will Blair prove as durable as her boss?
