Do we really want to reread CHAPTERs SIX-NINE about Flandry and Djana gradually realizing that the conscious computer on Wayland is playing chess with robots shaped like life-sized knights, bishops etc? Or would we instead prefer to skip ahead to CHAPTER TEN where the two human beings leave Wayland and are captured by Merseians? I will dip into CHAPTER SIX although I do not expect to find much new in it to post about.
Today we attended the Lancaster Green Party Christmas Fair which I have mentioned before and which fills the Friends' Meeting House. I recognized some books on the book stall, having donated them. Other events have happened around town including a lot of rain but now we are back home for the evening.
Other reading emphasizes the extent to which superheroes are grounded in sf. In a history of Marvel Comics: it had been established that a species called the Kree controlled an interstellar empire before it was decided that the Kree would dispatch to Earth a spy called Mar-Vell, Captain Marvel.
