I am pleased to show off the FAR ORBIT APOGEE cover. Apogee is the second volume in the Far Orbit anthology series edited by Bascomb James. This well-received series features modern science fiction adventures crafted by a new generation of Grand Tradition SF writers.
If you’re looking for science fiction stories like they used to write, this is the book for you. Apogee takes all of the fun-to-read adventure, ingenuity, and heroism of mid-century pulp fiction and shapes it for a new generation of readers. Join us as we follow the adventures of heroic scientists, lunar detectives, space dragons, robots, interstellar pirates, gunslingers, and other memorable characters who wrestle with adversity beyond the borders of our small blue marble. It’s fun and engaging, pithy and piquant. Set course for Far Orbit Apogee. Engage!
Here’s what you’ll find between the covers…
