Your July Science Stories from Author Andy Zach

Your July Science Stories were personally curated by me, Author Andy Zach. I read science every day for ideas for my science fiction. If you love science, read on!

Let’s start with military SciFi that almost happened:

Here we have a plan for a sub-orbital rocket that could land 1200 Marines–from the 60s!

Now let’s switch to some steampunk SciFi that ISN’T fiction.

This should appeal to your artistic senses–or your arachnophobia. Let me know which by clicking here. As usual, I’ll give a free ebook for each comment or response.

Or you can cut to the chase and get free ebooks by subscribing to my newsletter at this link.

Now some may quibble Richard Branson (and soon Jeff Bezos) only got to the edge of space in a sub-orbital flight. Weightlessness and a vacuum above our atmosphere is close enough for me.

But what do you require to be called a trip to space? An orbit around the earth? Landing on the moon? What are your standards? You can leave a comment or email me at [email protected] Or directly contact me.

Even the Toughest Critics Agree This Following Video is Outer Space

Cover of The Stars Must Wait Click to read full review

Keith Laumer, in one of his last books, describes a dystopian United States from the perspective of Terrance Jackson, an astronaut awoken from suspended animation after eighty years.

It’s a delicious premise. Just as the spaceship was to launch a colonization trip to Callisto, the launch was aborted with one second to go. There are about a dozen crew members aboard: a full crew and a full backup crew.

All the crew is suspended, but they awake at different times by the computer program. Meanwhile, more

Outlandish Fun

Andy Zach continues his unrelenting attack on the horror/zombie genre with outlandish humor. What will society do with the new human zombies after the havoc caused by The Turkey Zombies?!? That was a rhetorical question…so just laugh! 😉

4.0 out of 5 stars 

Originality Overload!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 June 2021

Wow! I think my originality meter overflowed! This short story collection includes fantasy and science fiction. Its settings go from post-apocalyptic Mars to medieval worlds where magic reigns. There’s humor and horror, sex and violence, victories and defeats, villains and heroes. Oh, and time-travel too.

Further, many of the stories are set in the same universe and cross-reference each other. At times, they feel like chapters from the same book.

I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys originality and creative use of medieval dialect as well as invented alien languages.

by Andy Zach

I’m embarrassed to say this, but I’m biased here; two of my short stories are this book. So you can disregard this review, even though it’s only about the other short stories.

The Last Best Book Reviews

Doctor Doolittle’s Zoo

Hugh Lofting continues his imaginative exploration of the things the good Doctor Doolittle can do through talking to animals. This time it’s a post office run by them. In the fictional West African country of Fantippo.

As usual, the Doctor spends whatever money he gets on animals and people in need. As usual, his animal friends work together to get him more money. Hugh Lofting surprises us with an imaginative riff within his story: how about a series of short stories by animals for an animal magazine?

But Wait! There’s More Best Book Reviews!

Turkeys!

This was a fun listen! Sam Melvin is a reporter for a small newspaper in a small town. When people start being attacked by turkeys, Sam is on the job! As the first one to report the outbreak of a disease turning the turkeys into zombies, Sam is busy trying to find the flock and let the world know what is happening.

The story follows numerous attacks by the hoard of turkeys and the various ways that people try to fight them off. There is a little romance along the way for a few couples, even in the face of possible death. Add in the backstory of online news and entrepreneurship, a football game turned zombie fight and a great white shark and you have some great scenes!

Jive With Five of Top 7 Science Stories

This story is a little disappointing: you can’t expect spaceships to cruise about independent of orbits. It takes too much energy.

That’s no problem for SciFi authors, like the one behind my typewriter. In my book below, I have a spaceship that directly converts matter to energy. Very handy, that is.

Your Sixth of Top 7 Science Stories

I can hear people saying, “That’s not science! That’s some idiot driving a wheel to 827 MPH.”

It is too science. The question was, “Can we spin a wheel faster than the speed of sound? What will happen?” There was an experiment to try it and they spun faster than the speed of sound. What’s more scientific than that?

Some free advice: don’t do this at home. Or anywhere else.

Your Last Science Story

The last science story covers anti-drone warfare–using silly string. I’m serious. Check it out in the link above.
