Shuteye for the Timebroker
“While masquerading as a major Verne aficionado during my attendance at a French convention in his hometown of Nantes, I quaked and quailed inside, fearing exposure at any minute.
But the work of Verne that I have read, I’ve enjoyed very much. So when editor Mike Ashley invited me to contribute to an anthology honoring Verne’s creations by extending them, I jumped at the chance. Luckily, I had just finished reading Verne’s The Mysterious Island in a fine new translation, and so I had a platform from which to leap.
Here’s hoping I did some acrobatic twirls on the way down.

It may be the natural feeling of an old man with a hundred books behind him, who feels that he has written out his subject, but I really feel as though the writers of the present day and the past time who have allowed their imaginations to play upon m...ind problems, have, to use a colloquialism, nearly filled the bill.”MoreLess
