Critiques
The Captain's Table: The Mist, Book 3 (Star Trek… par Dean Wesley Smith
Captain Sisko from Deep Space Nine visits the Captains Table and tells the tale of his visit to Mist space. It's the tale of a part of space inside space. I enjoyed the tale.
The Voyager stops at a planet that looks like it's full of abandoned shuttles. Voyager needs parts, so an away team is sent to see what can be scavenged. The planet turns out to not be abandoned and the away team is captured. I found the book to be enjoyable and an easy read.

As you may already know, Writers of the Future is a contest in the name of Ron Hubbard for the best short stories in SF, fantasy or horror which has run for some decades. As usual, the stories are quite different in taste: here there is my (short) thoughts about them. I don't judge the illustrators (who are also winners of the contest)
◆ Kitsune, by Devon Bohm - the story seems an excuse for saying other things. Citing from the introduction, «What this story really is,” Bohm says, “is a feminist text that’s using an extended and surreal metaphor to help the reader reflect on particular experiences within the human condition.» 2/5
◆ Moonlight and Funk, by Marianne Connolly - nice and poetic story about an odd kind of love. 5/5
◆ Death and the Taxman, by David Hankins - it loses a bit of grip in the middle, maybe because the author tried too hard to be funny: but it's generally a good story. 4/5
◆ Under My Cypresses, by Jason Palmatier - I think I got the point of the story, but in my opinion it was not developed well. 3/5
◆ Circulate, by Ron Hubbard - An advice from Hubbard. Good advice, indeed. 4/5
◆ The Unwilling Hero, by Ron Hubbard - There is a point in the story which let you understand clearly what Hubbard would have become later in his life. 4/5
◆ White Elephant, by David K. Henrickson - humorous, well built, and with a nice plor twist. 5/5
◆ Piracy for Beginners, by Jennifer Johnson - nice story, in good old space opera style. 4/5
◆ Prioritize to Increase Your Writing, by Kristine Kathryn Rusch - I don't understand why there are such interludes (except the ones from Hubbard, of course...) - n/a
◆ Fire in the Hole, by WordFire, Inc. - It is filled with too many clichés. 3/5
◆ A Trickle in History, by Elaine Cohen - the last Jews would not be the last ones. Nice idea and realization. 5/5
◆ The Withering Sky, by Harry Manners - good pace, but the plot just does not work. When you finish reading, you just ask yourself "why did all of this happen?" 3/5
◆ The Fall of Crodendra M, by Dustin Adams - the middle part was good, but beginning and ending are weak and they don't build up the story. Probably mixing wormholes with media live coverage was not a good idea. 3/5
◆ Constant Never, by S. M. Stirling - The eending is interesting, but the story does not say a lot to me. 2/5
◆ The Children of Desolation, by Spencer Sekulin - post apocalyptic, slow at the beginning but well built. 4/5
◆ Timelines and Bloodlines, by Laurance Davis - very nice way to deal with time travel paradoxes. 5/5
◆ The Last History, by Samuel Parr - I usually don't like fantasy, but this world is depicted very well. 4/5… (plus d'informations)

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.The annual collection once again assembles stories from up-and-coming contest winners, stories and essays from established & respected authors, illustrations from contest winners, and (unfortunately) an essay and a story by L. Ron Hubbard. The less said about those last, the better. The rest is all quite good. A few of the illustrations disappointed by not matching my imagination, but the fact that I cared enough to be disappointed is proof enough that the collection is worth reading.
