My Life In Fandom: #MayThe4thBeWithYou To Something Better Than Mouse Wars

The Devil Mouse wants to leverage its influence in the Pop Cult via some social media campaign. It wants you to be good paypigs and give them your money.

No, my fellow disappointed fans, you should be shunning Culty Kathy and the Yay Rey Crew. Walk away and go elsewhere, to places where the spirit of Uncle George's former glory found new places to flourish. What those authors wrote varies, as some like this part of George's space opera and some like others, but nonetheless you'll find something familiar as you explore the new- as George did in the '70s when he took the spirit of Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, the Lensmen, John Carter, and the other greats of yesteryear to make that which is now defiled and ruined by a treacherous witch and her coven of craven collaborators.

What I present below is a short and not-exhaustive sample of what is out there to be had. There is a lot more, which I invite you to explore for yourself.

Do you like Captain Rex? Are you really into the Clone Wars? Did you love the ground-fighting on Scariff? Loved that bounty hunter show? Wish you saw more like that? Then this massive series is all for you, and the title precedes the Devil Mouse's doomed theme park by at least a year if not more. The main series is 10 books. Then there's secondary series, and you'll see some familiar co-authors and guest authors. Available in print, ebook, and audio.

Jon del Arozz is the leading Hispanic voice in Science Fiction. This is his homage to George Lucas, and he goes where George did not. You'll find no fear of the rich and deep cultural wealth of Western Civilization here, especially its moral foundation, and neither shall you be condescended to by the author. If you love to explore the moral dimension of George's works, then this is for you. If not, try Colony Launch or The Stars Entwined.

Israel's leading Science Fiction author, Yakov Merkin, delivers all of the Space Opera wonder and adventure that the Devil Mouse disparages these days in his Galaxy Ascendant series, and he did it while serving on active duty in the Israeli Defense Forces- proving that being a tanker doesn't stop writing good stories that audiences want to read. He's got more coming, so you'll want to watch him.

And finally, if you want a piss-take from the sole living grandmaster of Science Fiction, here you are. On sale all day today and well worth it at full price.

Of course I would not leave out my own offering. You can find Reavers of the Void, the first Star Knight book, at Amazon in print and Kindle. Books Two and Three will be the subject of a crowdfunding campaign in a few weeks, and available for sale by the Christmas season later this year if you'd rather be patient.
