Good Morning Blue Sky! Hope you’re all ok? Today I’m currently in a short story mood so first up reading the very good Make-Believe And Artifice by Rose Biggen. What are you reading at the moment?

27 more days! Not that we’re counting.

We’re counting.

It's October, which means it's only 30 more days until #ScifiMonth! Yes, our annual love-in of all things SFnal will be back - we're disorganised and may forget to pack our socks, but we're excited to blast off on November 1. Will you join us?

Get ready for ScifiMonth 2025

We're a little later than usual in pulling the dust covers off the good ship ScifiMonth, but there's no keeping a good crew grounded! We'll be back this November for our annual celebration of all things SFnal and we hope you'll join in the fun. We're keeping it low key this year, but we've got banners and a theme and a read-along brewing, and we'll see what else we can rustle up over the next 30 days.

I've picked up quite a few new followers lately, so I'm going to take the time to tell you about the spaceship in my profile header.

This is the spaceship Fermi, a ship cobbled together from Cold War tech and bolted to an experimental FTL drive.
That FTL drive vaporises every planet in its wake.

So I’m back on my nonsense for some TV reviews, and for SciFi Month 2024 we’re surviving an apocalypse – by any means necessary, it seems. Let’s discuss Fallout.

It’s wild all right! #ScifiMonth2024

🇺🇦 Legio Kraken | SFF Blog 🇺🇦 @legio-kraken.com · Nov 6

Wild Space? Interesting. When I think about "wild" I recall this book: "Deathworld Trilogy" by Harry Harrison. Classic, action-packed science fiction. And what can be wilder than a whole planet that tries to kill you? #SciFiMonth2024

Day 6's prompt for #SciFiMonth2024 is Wild Space.

The first book that came to mind is Light of the Jedi. It was my first foray into the High Republic novels where I learned about the Nihil and their Occlusion Zone. The High Republic also has a focus on exploring wild space.
