I'm a little tighter on money than I'd like to be right now - but if I get the chance I'm thinking of picking up Asimovs and possbily Interzone by the 31st - either that or go for the Sten books that Wildside has been releasing. I have them all in dead tree but I want ebooks too. ![]() |

I don't read as much Sci-Fi as some, but for a series you can get complete in ebook form see if the Wess'Har series by Karen Traviss sounds good to you. I thought it was pretty good.
The first book is City of Pearl... http://www.fictionwise.com/ebooks/eBook34515.htm |

I also think FW does a better job with subscriptions than Amazon. They're often a bit cheaper and I hate the nickel and dime monthly charge method Amazon uses.

So, Analog or Asimovs? I am not a huge space ships and dragons kind of sci-fi reader, I like stuff like John Wyndham and Mary Doria Russell. It is just such a good value to buy it now during the sale...

Ever tickle somone? Often the tickled people don't like it. But I don't accuse anyone who did it of being... well, ticklists, or whatnot, or even sexual predators because for some people tickling somone was stepping stone to more. If they say it was just in fun, no harm, no foul. Ever touch someone on the shoulder to get their attention? Some people take offense to that, too. But that doesn't make it assault if there wasn't malicious intent. They don't, because society doesn't treat both sexes equally to start with. Quote:
So setting "okay" said, was it *sexist*? Again, it can't be sexist only if the person objects, but not if they don't; at least not in the sense of "if it's sexist then never do it." And it can't always be sexist. So whether or not it's sexist lies within the intent of the groper and the context in which the grope occured. But now you say it's his non-apology that made it sexist, not the act itself, so I guess we can agree to disagree. But at least now we're disagreeing on a subjective interpretation of someone's character; not an objective determination of fact that a passing grope always equals sexist or wrong. |

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I've checked them out and found some interesting ones, and I'm currently crawling through the Sci-fi section at FW. For kicks I'll post my list of what I ended up getting after I order this weekend. Last edited by Renaldo; 03-20-2009 at 07:32 AM. |

Having said that, Analog does do novel serializations, and the long awaited sequel to David Palmer's Emergence, and the first book in Robert J. Sawyer's WWW trilogy have both been serialized there and neither is out in book form yet. As a complete aside, in the paper editions Analog has normally done fiction in two columns while Asimovs does one, and I find Analog much easier to read. |

There has been a polite request to keep this thread on the general topic of SF Books on sale at Fictionwise. Please honor that request. Any further posts on sexism, groping, etc, will be removed.

Also give Interzone a go, too. There's also Fantasy and Science Fiction, no dragon fantasy there, pretty much.

Note that Deathworld by Harry Harrison has been mentioned.
It is at Project Gutenberg if you want that one. Don't need to buy it. |

It appears The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction isn't included in the sale.
