My work schedule has been shuffled around and I have several projects I need to work on; so I think I'm going to put off diving into our next book for a week. Sorry, gang. I'll be back next week for sure.
But since we just finished looking at a fantasy novel and are about to jump into a space opera, I thought it might be fun to talk about the differences between Science Fiction and Fantasy. Long-time readers of this series might recall that I touched a bit on this subject in an earlier diary: The Mohs Scale of SF Hardness. Cartoonist Phil Foglio has said that, at least in the case of Role-Playing Games, there is no difference between the two. ("What's New": Fantasy vs. SF page 1; page 2)
But what do you think?
Let me know. Next week I'll be back with part one of The Skylark of Space.
