February 22, 2024 by James Young Leave a Comment

Rise of the Robots So, way back in June at Libertycon 35, I was dragooned persuaded to do three anthologies for Raconteur Press (substack– Facebook is here).

October 22, 2018 by James Young 2 Comments

Marxville Captain Tyr […]

On the transitory nature of things:  So I’ve mentioned Project Wonderful on here a couple of times.  Well, after over a decade of great adverts at low prices, they’re closing their doors.  It’s like going in to check on a great restaurant you used to frequent…only to find that they’ve been closed for several weeks.  […]

Another Review for An Unproven Concept

August 16, 2017 by James Young 1 Comment

Warship Wednesday–Heavy Cruisers

November 16, 2016 by James Young Leave a Comment

HEAVY CRUISERS (CA) Usually found chasing down pirates or “showing the flag” in distant corners of the Confederation, heavy cruisers were ostensibly designed to accompany battlecruisers or serve as convoy escorts in time of war.  Prior to 3030, the mere presence of a heavy cruiser within a few hours of FTL travel was enough to […]
