Remember Pearl Harbor
by L. Neil Smith
A BLAST FROM THE PAST You may not believe it, but I find it difficult to advertise myself, a pursuit which is nevertheless necessary for survival in my profession, especially for a novelist as politically incorrect as I am.

Level Setting
by Sarah A. Hoyt
The time has come to have the most serious talk in a hundred years, a talk that is overdue by at least a hundred years. It needs to be discussed, history needs to be known, and we need to change course as fast as possible.

The Gods of the
Copybook Headings
by Rudyard Kipling
As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,

The Norseman’s Diaries 2021: Tentative Last Entry?
by Jeff Fullerton
Dateline New Year’s Day—1/1/2022 It’s finally over. A really bad year that makes 2020 look good just like the first year of Joe Biden makes the 4 years of the Jimmy Carter Administration—or even 8 years of Obama look heavenly by comparison. Another year of fear and loathing and of some grievous losses of people dear to us. Yet we are still here and the struggle continues.
