- While the world turns to crap... Personally things are going well. BIG NEWS! Amazing Stories has accepted ESPionage 2: JAZZ AGE! This is the sequel novel to our acclaimed ESPionage: REGIME CHANGE, co-written with Tom Easton. amazon.com/ESPionage-Regime-Ch…
- In the Star Trek: DS9 episode "In the Pale Moonlight", Sisko gets his happy ending - but there's a cost. A Romulan ambassador, a forger, Garak's friends. And the cost to Sisko is not a physical death but the death of idealism about the institution he works for - and idealism about himself. /2
- Boskone! Wu's first principle of storytelling: You can't get something for nothing. Somebody (not necessarily the "hero/ine") has to pay for the happy ending. Sometimes it's a death. But a death doesn't necessarily have to be physical. It can be a spiritual/emotional death/1
- It's award season! I would really appreciate it if y'all check out "Poison" - the military SF novella @JayWerkheiser and I had in Analog in May/June 2023. Read it for free at frankwu.com/Poison.html and if you liked it pls vote in the Anlab Awards
- I think it's the best thing (short of a novel I've ever written) and it means a lot to me. There's a ton of stuff in there beyond stuff blowing up. But there is a lot of stuff blowing up, too.
- Aaaaand more art for the story by Tomislav Tikulin. Check out the cool spaceship and the gutpunch of the statues.
- URL should be: frankwu.com/Poison.html
- We desperately need to understand it. Trump '24 voters are driven by REVENGE. They chose him in '16 and see every lawsuit or trial as a personal attack. They LOVE lies about Dems bc it re-affirms that Trump (and they) were right all along. They want him to be a DICTATOR who crushes everyone else.
- Excellent review of my novel "ESPionage: Regime Change" with Tom Easton from Kirkus Reviews. Yeah us!!! kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/tom-ea…
- Last part of the review:
- The full text of "Poison" is now available for free at: frankwu.com/Poison.html This is the novella I wrote w @JayWerkheiser from the May-June 2023 Analog. It's military SF with lots of action but more than that -
- Is you learned a truth that would cause millions to die, would you cover it up? Is your duty to the Truth or to Peace? If your boss orders you to do something nonsensical (but not immoral or illegal, you just don't to know the WHY) are you still obligated to do it?
- If two of your superiors - with the exact same data - come to completely opposite opinions on the course of action, who do you follow? "A story of friendship and betrayal with a final twist at the end. Great story with well-drawn characters." -- Sam Tomaino, SFRevu
- If you've read our new novel "ESPionage: Regime Change" pls leave a rating on amazon - if we get only 10 more we will start to show up in "you might also like" lists! CIA psychics vs Russian assassins! Buy it here: amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CGG6GH5G/…
- Hmm. Trump is possibly indirectly responsible for this war in Israel. Remember that private mtg with Trump and Putun where no transcript was provided and no (US) press allowed and military secrets of a US ally were discussed? Who was that ally? Israel. tinyurl.com/45tpvkxv
- If US and Israeli intelligence failed, partly because Israelis were hesitant to work with the US after the Trump-Putin mtg, well... that's what it seems happened.
- Patrick McHenry once went to Baghdad, IDing US facilities and filming an enemy missile missing said facilities. The enemy used his video to actually hit the target. Here's a petition for US Congress to investigate McHenry's role in the death and injury of 19 Americans. tinyurl.com/2pevyjrr
