Secret World Chronicle - 6 23 Brothers In Blood 3

“The cavalry arrives! Our villain is faced with an unlikely trio of rescuers, while Vickie employs some very special language when speaking to the Djinni.”

Hungarian, for one. All sweary. And no shapeshifter left behind.

Fascinated Neutrality: An Interview with - Alastair Reynolds

“By the time I had begun serious work on Revelation Space, I’d had a gut’s full of that brand of science fiction which is basically just nineteen fifties mid-America transplanted into the future. That didn’t reflect the world I was living in, let alone the likely texture of the twenty-fifth century or whenever. But equally, I just thought that all these foreign-sounding names (to me, I hasten to add — I fully understand how offensive and stupid this will sound) just looked a lot cooler and more interesting on the page than yet another load of Anglo-Saxon or Germanic surnames, which is about all that a certain strain of science fiction seems capable of — even now. In 1991, too, I moved to another country and immediately started working in a large international organization, at which point my cultural horizons were broadened enormously, a process that I hope never really stopped.”

A Chronological Bibliography of Early Occult Detectives - Tim Prasil

Jennifer Lawrence: America’s Kick-Ass Sweetheart - Josh Eels

“Dude!” Says Jennifer Lawrence into her cellphone. “I’m lost as fuck! I’ve been driving around for, like, 10 minutes. Where the hell is this place?” She’s looking for a horse stable. We have plans to go horseback riding in the canyons above Malibu, but neither of us can find the place. I tell her to pull over and I’ll come find her.

The most talented young actress in America is idling on a side street in her white Volkswagen, in blue jeans, a gray T-shirt and designer shades. Her naturally blond hair is pulled back in a loose ponytail, and her elbows are sticking out the open window.

She’s famous for playing vulnerable young women with wills of steel, as with her Oscar-nominated turn in Winter’s Bone, or as the bow-and-arrow-toting Katniss Everdeen in the just-released Hunger Games. Right now her face says she means business.

“I have to pee so bad.”
