"The slab avalanche theory was criticized due to four main counterarguments," Gaume said. However, this hypothesis hasn't been widely accepted by the public, the new study noted, because neither investigation offered a scientific explanation for some of the incident's stranger details. The avalanche hypothesis is not new two federal Russian investigations (completed in 20) also concluded that the hikers were most likely driven from their tents by a slab avalanche - that is, an avalanche that occurs when a slab of snow near the surface breaks away from a deeper layer of snow, and it slides downhill in blocky chunks.

Recommended for fans of Asimov and 40s/50s science fiction… And space opera fans interested in more “substantial/complex” early manifestations of the subgenre… bad that characterized most pulp of the day. But, most appealing to me, Asimov moves away from the all too simplistic dichotomy of good vs. Although I am generally unimpressed with Asimov’s science fiction, Pebble in the Sky contains intriguing world building and an elderly man as the main character which is rather rare in sci-fi (albeit, this does not prevent a silly romance between the other younger main characters from providing the novel’s emotional core). The novel itself takes place in the vast Galactic Empire based at Trantor that features in so many of Asimov’s short stories and novels - most famously, Foundation. Pebble in the Sky (1950), Isaac Asimov’s first published novel, is a revision of the earlier short story ‘Grow Old With Me’ published in the late 1940s. (Uncredited (Powers?) cover for the 1957 edition) I never was a fan of Christian romance novels or content in general. Through their clash of worldviews and personalities, Angel begins to think she might be able to reconcile herself to all three.įull disclosure: I was a huge fan of the “Redeeming Love” novel growing up. The story centers on Angel, a cynical prostitute in the gold rush of the Old West who hates God, all men and herself - until she is pursued for marriage by a farmer named Michael Hosea. The film is based on the 1991 Christian romance novel by evangelical author Francine Rivers - who contributed to the screenplay - that loosely retells the biblical story of Hosea. (REVIEW) “Redeeming Love” combines the worst parts of faith-based films, romance films and gritty dramas into a hilarious Frankenstein’s monster of a misfire that underscores the difficulty the modern Western imagination has in integrating faith with other topics that matter. Abigail Arcane, a major supporting character in the Swamp Thing mythos was introduced in issue No. Wrightson drew the first ten issues of the series. In the fall of 1972 the Swamp Thing returned in his own series, set in the contemporary world and in the general DC continuity. And I said, 'You know, I just wrote a story that actually kind of feels like the way you feel now.' I told him about Swamp Thing, and he said, 'I gotta draw that.'"

Wein later recounted how Wrightson became involved with the story: "Bernie Wrightson had just broken up with a girlfriend, and we were sitting in my car just talking about life – all the important things to do when you're 19 and 20 years old. 92 (July 1971) in a standalone horror story set in the Victorian era. With writer Len Wein, Wrightson co-created the muck creature Swamp Thing in House of Secrets No. Wrightson is the co-creator of Swamp Thing/ Alec Holland, designer of the character's iconic face. Bernard Albert Wrightson (Octo– March 18, 2017), sometimes credited as Berni Wrightson, was an American artist, known for co-creating the Swamp Thing, his adaptation of the novel Frankenstein illustration work, and for his other horror comics and illustrations, which feature his trademark intricate pen and brushwork.

"Don't judge someone until you've stood at his forge and worked with his hammer," Thank you Rick Riordan for this one, which made you one of my favorite writers. Oh! There are so many good things to tell about this one, but I can't wait till I get started with the next. Events are building up nicely towards the Battle of Half-blood camp, while keeping the reader oblivious to the way how seemingly unrelated plot lines will come to unravel at the end. Everything's well written as always, it's difficult to stop until one is finished reading. Percy, Annabeth and the team embarks on the most thrilling adventure yet, immersing us in an eventful journey. Time for having laughs all over the place is over (at least for the most part) and penultimate book means serious business. Though I am yet to read the final one, I think it'll be harder to beat this one out of my-favorite-of-the-series spot. The Battle of the Labyrinth blows first three books out of the water. just wow! I don't know how this could get any better. Helena adds so much depth to her romantic comedies, giving us heartfelt stories along with the laughs. I loved getting a deeper look into their relationship and I loved everything I saw. Pucked by Helena Hunting was a fantastic addition to Randy and Lily’s story. “Loving you is the best choice I ever made.” The entire crew piles into vehicles and drives to Alex and Violet’s Chicago cottage for a few days of relaxation―and hopefully a chance for Randy to shake the anxiety that’s been plaguing him.Īccidental wardrobe malfunctions, typical Violet inspired overshares, and a whole lot of private time round out the perfect weekend getaway.īut the moment they return to the city all of Randy’s angst resurfaces with the arrival of a surprise houseguest. With the off-season coming to a close and the boys gearing up for training camp, one more weekend of fun is the perfect way to welcome the new season. But even they have their challenges, mostly outside of the bedroom. Randy Ballistic and Lily LeBlanc are head-over-heels, bed-breakingly, screaming orgasmically in love. The freewheeling and freedom-loving lunar settlers parallel the early American colonists in their own struggle for independence. His libertarian masterpiece, “The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress” (1966), deals with the rebellion of the lunar colony against the oppressive rules imposed from Earth. Heinlein explored social and political ideas, bringing to bear his own libertarian views and his emphasis on self-reliant individuals who were competent enough to stand up to and to deal with whatever fate and circumstance might throw at them. He was the only one of the three I never met in person, but I am told he was as boyish and optimistic as Asimov and Clarke undoubtedly were. They lifted SF out of its space opera phase of death rays and tentacled aliens, and into works that explored how scientific progress might shape future societies and future attitudes. Together with Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke, he was one of the best-known SF writers who were the “big three” of the golden age of hard SF writing that featured accurate and realistic future science. The science fiction writer, Robert Heinlein, was born on July 7th 1907. |
