Science fiction and fantasy - from Middle America to the ends of the Universe

Hi ,

Is science fiction the literature of ideas? It certainly can be. One of the things that made me a science fiction fan was the panoply of big ideas in Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End. Asimov's Foundation series is a classic in the field too.

Looking for some big ideas? Amazon readers, check out this novel by fellow Houston-area writer Mikhail Gladkikh.

Out of Time

Mikhail Gladkikh

2057AD. Mankind is exploring the outer planets, but something goes terribly wrong. A probe is destroyed by the extreme gravitational force on the satellite of Uranus. Then, another anomaly sets the Moon on a collision course with Earth.

To address the threat, Olivia Murphy, a Science Advisor to the President of the USA, orchestrates the creation of the UN Task Force consisting of the most prominent scientists.

Meanwhile, Jim Steel, a college student, discovers he can foresee the future and thinks he might be insane. The visions set him on a dangerous path he does not want to take.

As Olivia attempts to shield the Task Force from the geopolitical intrigues and Jim learns how to handle his ability, a web of seemingly unrelated events entangles them. While the governments and corporations fight for the mastery of space-time, a college student must carry the weight of the Universe on his shoulders.
