New (to me) SF authors
I recently saw some SF stories posted on Project Gutenberg from two authors I had heard of, but never read: Andre Alice Norton and Marion Zimmer Bradley. After sampling the terrible epubs from Gutenberg, I headed over to Feedbooks, where I found much better epub versions of the same stories.
So far, I have read the following:
Star Born - Norton
Star Hunter - Norton
Year of the Big Thaw - Bradley
The Planet Savers - Bradley
I'm currently reading "The Door Through Space" by Bradley.
I must say that these two ladies were damn good SF writers. I particularly thought "Star Born" was a very good story. I don't think I've read a better treatment of human and alien interaction (especially where the aliens weren't the bad guys).
It's great that I continue to find something good to read from the public domain. Being very short on funds for things like books (e or otherwise), I really appreciate finding good freebies. So, a special thank you to both Project Gutenberg and Feedbooks.
