This is a thread for interesting or unusual science fiction cover art. As a first post here is the cover to 'Beyond The Stars' a 1983 collection by Octopus books that aside from the usual round of short stories included chapters excerpted from the following novels: 'Star Wars' (Alan Dean...

Good sf doesn't just introduce new concepts, it explores the ramifications of those concepts. As HG Wells introduced tanks, DEWs, nukes, transnational organisations, and air power, he also explored what they would mean. Now, I really can't recommend : Lem enough. Under this topic, his 1964...

I am amateur writer, I am currently on my 26th page of what I am writing. I have so far come up with help of friends in the military : 1. Tank with two variants (tracks and wheels) 2. Support vehicle of said tank Now I am lacking other important components of army : helicopters and planes...

As the movie industry wheels out yet another Bond film I prefer to return to the world of the original, in the pages of Ian Fleming's novels. For those who do not know what Britain was like for most ordinary families in the 50s and 60s, the glamour of the world described by Fleming in his books...
