<p><strong>Time Travel has been a question ever since some human created the clock.</strong></p>
<p>All these questions about somehow making the clock run backward – and what would happen if…</p>
<p>And so we have enough time stories to fill two anthologies. Because people can’t quit imagining the different worlds we’d create if we could – just once – go back and change some little thing.</p>
<p>Maybe some of these writers are right about that. Maybe it’s just too dangerous a subject to consider.</p>
<p>Or maybe these are all nice fiction stories to while away your time and keep you thoroughly grounded in the present.</p>
<p>I guess you’ll just have to read these for yourself to find out for sure…</p>
<p><strong>Space Opera</strong> is a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, chivalric romance, and risk-taking. Set mainly or entirely in outer space, it usually involves conflict between opponents possessing advanced abilities, futuristic weapons, and other sophisticated technology.</p>
<p>The term has no relation to music, as in a traditional opera, but is instead a play on the terms “soap opera”, a melodramatic television series, and “horse opera”, which was coined during the 1930s to indicate a formulaic Western movie. Space operas emerged in the 1930s and continue to be produced in literature, film, comics, television, and video games.</p>
<p><strong>The Golden Age of Pulp Magazine Fiction</strong> derives from pulp magazines (often referred to as “the pulps”) as they were inexpensive fiction magazines that were published from 1896 to the late 1950s. The term pulp derives from the cheap wood pulp paper on which the magazines were printed. In contrast, magazines printed on higher-quality paper were called “glossies” or “slicks”. (Wikipedia)</p>
<p>The pulps gave rise to the term pulp fiction. Pulps were the successors to the penny dreadfuls, dime novels, and short-fiction magazines of the 19th century. Although many writers wrote for pulps, the magazines were proving grounds for those authors like Robert Heinlein, Louis LaMour, “Max Brand”, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and many others. The best writers moved onto longer fiction required by paperback publishers. Many of these authors have never been out of print, even long after their passing.</p>

No other place on this Earth operates like it does. Not just everyone can live or survive there. it’s got a whole lot of people who were bred and trained just for this environment. And people will get into trouble with each other, even in “normal” places.</p>
<p>And so, it’s a perfect culture for growing stories.</p>
<p>This anthology of stories set in the near and distant future New York pose interesting questions for us to solve.</p>
<p>Like: what really happens after all hell breaks loose and society breaks down?</p>
<p>Or, maybe the story is just about robots replacing our menial tasks that we do every day – until they start resenting it.</p>
<p>All entertaining. Time travel, mystery, even some futuristic romance might be found here. Just like our modern-day New York.</p>

<p><strong>John Keith Laumer</strong> (June 9, 1925 – January 23, 1993) was an American science fiction author. Prior to becoming a full-time writer, he was an officer in the United States Air Force and a diplomat in the United States Foreign Service.</p>
<p>Keith Laumer is known for the Bolo and Retief stories. Stories from the former chronicle the evolution of super tanks that eventually become self-aware through the constant improvement resulting from centuries of intermittent warfare against various alien races.</p>
<p><strong>Space Opera</strong> is a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, chivalric romance, and risk-taking. Set mainly or entirely in outer space, it usually involves conflict between opponents possessing advanced abilities, futuristic weapons, and other sophisticated technology.</p>
<p>The term has no relation to music, as in a traditional opera, but is instead a play on the terms “soap opera”, a melodramatic television series, and “horse opera”, which was coined during the 1930s to indicate a formulaic Western movie. Space operas emerged in the 1930s and continue to be produced in literature, film, comics, television, and video games.</p>
<p><strong>The Golden Age of Pulp Magazine Fiction</strong> derives from pulp magazines (often referred to as “the pulps”) as they were inexpensive fiction magazines that were published from 1896 to the late 1950s. The term pulp derives from the cheap wood pulp paper on which the magazines were printed. In contrast, magazines printed on higher-quality paper were called “glossies” or “slicks”.</p>
<p>The pulps gave rise to the term pulp fiction. Pulps were the successors to the penny dreadfuls, dime novels, and short-fiction magazines of the 19th century. Although many writers wrote for pulps, the magazines were proving grounds for those authors like Robert Heinlein, Louis L’Amour, “Max Brand”, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and many others. The best writers moved onto longer fiction required by paperback publishers. Many of these authors have never been out of print, even long after their passing.</p>

<p><strong>Leroy Yerxa</strong> (1915-1946) US author for the Pulp magazines, particularly the Ziff-Davis productions Amazing and Fantastic Adventures. He published under his own name and under some pseudonyms, the main one being Elroy Arno; others included Lee Francis which evolved into a House Name after his death (see also Frances Yerxa below as possible author under this name), Morris J Steele and (possibly) Henry Gade and Frank Patton. House Names included Richard Casey and Alexander Blade. He began to publish work of genre interest with “Death Rides at Night” in Amazing for August 1942 as Yerxa, and contributing prolifically to that magazine until his death; his only book-length story was “Double for Destiny” (December 1946 Amazing Stories).</p>

<p><strong>Henry Kuttner</strong> (April 7, 1915 – February 3, 1958) was an American author of science fiction, fantasy and horror.</p>
<p>Kuttner was known for his literary prose and worked in close collaboration with his wife, C. L. Moore. They met through their association with the “Lovecraft Circle”, a group of writers and fans who corresponded with H. P. Lovecraft. Their work together spanned the 1940s and 1950s and most of the work was credited to pseudonyms, mainly Lewis Padgett and Lawrence O’Donnell.</p>
<p>L. Sprague de Camp, who knew Kuttner and Moore well, has stated that their collaboration was so seamless that, after a story was completed, it was often impossible for either Kuttner or Moore to recall who had written what. According to de Camp, it was typical for either partner to break off from a story in mid-paragraph or even mid-sentence, with the latest page of the manuscript still in the typewriter. The other spouse would routinely continue the story where the first had left off. They alternated in this manner as many times as necessary until the story was finished.</p>
<p><strong>Space Opera</strong> is a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, chivalric romance, and risk-taking. Set mainly or entirely in outer space, it usually involves conflict between opponents possessing advanced abilities, futuristic weapons, and other sophisticated technology.</p>
<p>The term has no relation to music, as in a traditional opera, but is instead a play on the terms “soap opera”, a melodramatic television series, and “horse opera”, which was coined during the 1930s to indicate a formulaic Western movie. Space operas emerged in the 1930s and continue to be produced in literature, film, comics, television, and video games.</p>
<p><strong>The Golden Age of Pulp Magazine Fiction</strong> derives from pulp magazines (often referred to as “the pulps”) as they were inexpensive fiction magazines that were published from 1896 to the late 1950s. The term pulp derives from the cheap wood pulp paper on which the magazines were printed. In contrast, magazines printed on higher-quality paper were called “glossies” or “slicks”. (Wikipedia)</p>
<p>The pulps gave rise to the term pulp fiction. Pulps were the successors to the penny dreadfuls, dime novels, and short-fiction magazines of the 19th century. Although many writers wrote for pulps, the magazines were proving grounds for those authors like Robert Heinlein, Louis LaMour, “Max Brand”, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and many others.

<p><strong>If you’re so rich, how come you aren’t happy all the time?</strong></p>
<p>How about all that stuff you’ve bought or acquired – with a house and driveway filled with all these goods, you should be consistently full of joy, right?</p>
<p>The trick is that we’ve misidentified who we are and where our happiness comes from.</p>
<p>“You can’t buy happiness”, the old phrase goes. And yet, our culture has touted making money as one of the key motivations for doing anything.</p>
<p>Sure, it’s true that having a lot of money makes it easier to live your life.</p>
<p>But just consider what Napoleon Hill stated late in his life – that there were at least seven other ways of “getting rich” than people commonly knew. And he listed “having suffcient income” last on that list.</p>
<p>The core problem we choose to ignore has to do with our mind.</p>
<p>Truly, “we become what we think about” as Earl Nightingale said. Yet, so often we think negative thoughts, which result in bad feelings and destructive beliefs.</p>
<p>We’re rolling along, enjoying all these riches we’ve surrounded ourselves with and then – BLAM! We’re upset by something, or blaming someone else for some difficulty we are having. Or we read or watch in the news about something that upsets us.</p>
<p>The funny fact is that you are natively happy. And this is one of your riches. Probably your greatest. Because it doesn’t depend on being surrounded by anything for you to enjoy it. And your being happy doesn’t depend on giving up all this stuff, either.</p>
<p>We’ve created our own mind by thinking thoughts and holding on to them. Then we have bad feelings and emotions that show up when certain things happen around us. Whenever we blame someone or something else, we don’t feel better. And any happiness or enjoyment vanishes from our life. All while our nagging thoughts say these are that way – because….</p>
<p>That single concept gives us a way we can enjoy being rich in just living life itself.</p>
<p>You have to straighten out that thing you carry around with you everywhere – called a mind.</p>
<p>No, of course, it’s not that easy. Even though all the various goal achievement books and materials prescribe actions you can take to reprogram your subsconscious mind to accomplish that mental house-cleaning.</p>
<p>And these work. If you practice them regularly, daily.</p>
<p>But they don’t work completely.</p>
<p>That is the explanation for the various upsets, worries, and anger that come up to interrupt your happiness.</p>
<p>What follows in this book is how you can live the richest life possible – and how you can enjoy every moment of it.</p>
<p>Every moment, not just some or most of them.</p>
<p>You’re going to have to quit the worst, most addictive habit you have – which is constantly thinking all the time.</p>
<p>Because all that thinking just gets in the way of your own native ability to tap into your always-on inspiration for solutions.</p>
<p>Once you resolve those “mind problems”, then you’ll find your native state shows up as you simply enjoy each and every experience in your life.</p>
<p>No kidding.</p>
<p>All this is from 5 decades of research and study into the human condition and it’s remedies. All tested, proved, written up. Just for you.</p>
<p>But these “greatest secrets” won’t do you any good unless you read them and start implementing them in your life – to take it to the next level.</p>

<p>A few successful people have studied and tested the principles that make success inevitable.</p>
<p>The problem is that even the most successful can’t guarantee how they’ll feel from day to day, from moment to moment.</p>
<p>The solution is to get rid of those thoughts in your mind which are limiting your own freedom. Among these, the freedom to pursue happiness.</p>
<p>That’s an inalienable right each of us have. Something we were born with. It cannot be taken. It can only be given away.</p>
<p>And everytime you get something new, it’s something that identifies you. But too many people are afraid of losing that identity. So they keep buying more stuff.</p>
<p>Their first action is to regain their own freedom of identity. Too simple. They only have to decide to find out and prove to themselves who they really are. And in that process, letting everything else go.</p>
<p>All of this maybe doesn’t make sense. Or this may seem like just another scam. Because, the world is what you think it is. You become what you think about. Whatever you consider is right – is right. Or so they tell us.</p>
<p>You can regain your freedom to think for yourself. And then recover your own freedom to follow your bliss.</p>
<p>Then you can be whatever you want to be, have whatever you want to have.</p>
<p>You can get everything you want out of life.</p>
<p>First you have to let go of all the things that are holding you back. Because – you exist in a native state of freedom, of joy, of peace, of abundance. Life is simple.</p>
<p>The complications and problems that appear to surround you are only those you’ve agreed with. Let go of those agreements, test everything for yourself. Then you can have all the freedom in the world. Without limit.</p>
<p>Because that’s the way the actual world works. The limits and sacrifices you have been told that you much give up to make a living in this “real” world are fiction.</p>
<p>Somewhere, this strikes a chord with you. Somehow this makes sense.</p>
<p>It’s up to you to decide – and act.</p>
<p>And wherever you are, whatever your conditions:</p>

<p><strong>To live for eternity in the arms of someone you love</strong> – <em>or is living forever all it’s cracked up to be? </em></p>
<p>Time changes things. But then again, is there anything about time that is itself finite and definite?</p>
<p>These eleven stories, by authors now long gone, each examined their ideas and preconceptions of time through their Golden Age science fiction stories.</p>
<p>All so you could “just happen” to find them again.</p>
<p>But that’s the deal these days: <em>stories are timeless and their authors live each as a candle in the wind…</em></p>
<p><strong>Space Opera</strong> is a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, chivalric romance, and risk-taking. Set mainly or entirely in outer space, it usually involves conflict between opponents possessing advanced abilities, futuristic weapons, and other sophisticated technology.</p>
<p>The term has no relation to music, as in a traditional opera, but is instead a play on the terms “soap opera”, a melodramatic television series, and “horse opera”, which was coined during the 1930s to indicate a formulaic Western movie. Space operas emerged in the 1930s and continue to be produced in literature, film, comics, television, and video games.</p>
<p><strong>The Golden Age of Pulp Magazine Fiction</strong> derives from pulp magazines (often referred to as “the pulps”) as they were inexpensive fiction magazines that were published from 1896 to the late 1950s. The term pulp derives from the cheap wood pulp paper on which the magazines were printed. In contrast, magazines printed on higher-quality paper were called “glossies” or “slicks”.</p>
<p>The pulps gave rise to the term pulp fiction. Pulps were the successors to the penny dreadfuls, dime novels, and short-fiction magazines of the 19th century. Although many writers wrote for pulps, the magazines were proving grounds for those authors like Robert Heinlein, Louis L’Amour, “Max Brand”, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and many others. The best writers moved onto longer fiction required by paperback publishers. Many of these authors have never been out of print, even long after their passing.</p>

<p><strong>Cities have long been a powder keg</strong> – <em>just waiting for that spark of insurrection to bring them down into darkness.</em></p>
<p>While our history is filled with dystopian tales of post-collapse survival, our future-history on other planets is also rich with these.</p>
<p>Post apocryphal stories is the stuff of legends, even where they occurred – or have yet to occur.</p>
<p>Enjoy these talents who are all gone now, leaving only their stories that haven’t happened yet – or have they? Far away on distant shores, where the ocean laps at the ruined harbor of a city where the survivors, well, survive…</p>
<p>This collection of stories from the 40’s and 50’s of Science Fiction’s Golden Age are modern in style, but still use space opera elements to tell their tales. Please enjoy.</p>

Make Room! (1966). The latter was the rough basis for the motion picture Soylent Green (1973). Long resident in both Ireland and the United Kingdom, Harrison was involved in the foundation of the Irish Science Fiction Association, and was, with Brian Aldiss, co-president of the Birmingham Science Fiction Group.</p>

<p><strong>How short is a good short story?</strong></p>
<p>Authors tend to get sold on the idea that a “good” book is a huge tome running 300 pages or more, and taking a half a year just to write.</p>
<p>Yet the greatest writers I’ve chased up have started out with short stories first.</p>
<p>But no one I’ve talked to has said how long or short a short story needs to be – other than “just as long as it takes to tell the story”.</p>
<p>These “Short Flights” books are each designed to examine the short stories that are less than 6,000 words. We start with the shortest and then move along to those Golden Age Space Opera Tales that are nudging up against that upper limit.</p>
<p><em>All so you can decide for yourself if any story really has to be that long…</em></p>

<p>Oh, government snooping and regulation enforcement is much harder, so independent types can pretty much run things as they like – well, except when…</p>
<p>This anthology of stories is about human life on asteroids and moonlets – what people make of it, and how they interact in such places. Of course, there are the occasional monsters, and the vagaries of surviving where maybe Earth people shouldn’t wander off to.</p>
<p>All with the usual drama and strife – like humans are known to bring along wherever they go.</p>
<p><strong>Space Opera</strong> is a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, chivalric romance, and risk-taking. Set mainly or entirely in outer space, it usually involves conflict between opponents possessing advanced abilities, futuristic weapons, and other sophisticated technology.</p>
<p>The term has no relation to music, as in a traditional opera, but is instead a play on the terms “soap opera”, a melodramatic television series, and “horse opera”, which was coined during the 1930s to indicate a formulaic Western movie. Space operas emerged in the 1930s and continue to be produced in literature, film, comics, television, and video games.</p>
<p><strong>The Golden Age of Pulp Magazine Fiction</strong> derives from pulp magazines (often referred to as “the pulps”) as they were inexpensive fiction magazines that were published from 1896 to the late 1950s. The term pulp derives from the cheap wood pulp paper on which the magazines were printed. In contrast, magazines printed on higher-quality paper were called “glossies” or “slicks”.</p>
<p>The pulps gave rise to the term pulp fiction. Pulps were the successors to the penny dreadfuls, dime novels, and short-fiction magazines of the 19th century. Although many writers wrote for pulps, the magazines were proving grounds for those authors like Robert Heinlein, Louis LaMour, “Max Brand”, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and many others. The best writers moved onto longer fiction required by paperback publishers. Many of these authors have never been out of print, even long after their passing.</p>

<p><strong>Marriage is a popular theme in space.</strong> At least in space opera. <em>That’s why this anthology is the second needed on this subject.</em></p>
<p>Of course, our media would have you believe these days that all marriages are doomed to fail. However the space opera authors here are not so interested in what is as what could be. So the travails of the married and their potentials are far more interesting. And entertaining.</p>
<p>So set yourself down for these short stories and novellas which transport you to new worlds, all in the search for domestic bliss.</p>

He wrote three episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and two of his stories were adopted for the series, including “The Greatest Monster of Them All”.</p>

<p><strong>Jesse Franklin Bone</strong> was an American author and veterinarian whose writing gained prominence during the ‘Golden Age of Science-Fiction’ in the 1950’s. His short-story Triggerman was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1959.</p>
<p>In addition to his science fiction books and short stories, he also authored the textbook “Animal Anatomy and Physiology,” which was used widely in universities throughout the United States and internationally.</p>
<p><strong>Space Opera</strong> is a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, chivalric romance, and risk-taking. Set mainly or entirely in outer space, it usually involves conflict between opponents possessing advanced abilities, futuristic weapons, and other sophisticated technology.</p>

<p><em>Damon Knight </em>wrote, “As a science fiction writer she has few peers; her work is not only technically brilliant but has a rare human warmth and richness.” <em>Brian Aldiss</em> noted that she could “do the hard stuff magnificently,” while <em>Theodore Sturgeon</em> observed that she “generally starts from a base of hard science, or rationalizes psi phenomena with beautifully finished logic.”</p>
<p>It was while she worked as a laboratory technician in 1947 that she began writing science fiction. Strongly influenced by Ludwig von Bertalanffy’s General Systems Theory, her fiction has often demonstrated foresight about scientific advances.</p>
<p><strong>Space Opera</strong> is a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, chivalric romance, and risk-taking. Set mainly or entirely in outer space, it usually involves conflict between opponents possessing advanced abilities, futuristic weapons, and other sophisticated technology.</p>

<p><i>Many don’t return. Fame and fortune are rare. Challenges may be impossible to solve…</i></p>
<p><b>The reason I wrote this for you was because I couldn’t find a decent ebook on Amazon for this subject – writing serial fiction.</b> The two I could find there were pathetic (and if you think this one is another, perhaps you should be writing your own. Jump right in, the water’s fine…)</p>
<p>So I went out on the Internet and assembled all the research I could to see what and how this subject worked, if it did or not.</p>
<p>Then I compared what I’d learned with what I already knew – and wrote it up for you so you could use it.</p>
<p>After that, I spent three years mastering the craft and fine-tuning the publishing methods. Then revised this book to become my Version 2.0</p>
<p><b>I don’t pretend to know anything about this subject other than what you see here. So there.</b></p>
<p>I have published a couple hundred books, so I know how to research and edit and publish. Writing is an endless journey that takes you far, but you never see its end. As you apply yourself, as you push your own envelope, then you improve and find more areas to expand into.</p>
<p>Just to be transparent, my work has been in non-fiction (mostly.) And I got back into studying story structure and plotting, etc. Because the better-selling non-fiction works were built on either a narrative, or the “Big Idea” (which is really a collection of short narratives built on the same theme.)</p>
<p>You’ll see later in this book my concept for a business plan you can use. How that will work for you is exactly as you understand what I wrote here, as you understand the authors I quoted and linked to, and as you apply this data to work for your own personal scene.</p>
<p><b>I think it can be made to work, despite all the naysayers we’ll encounter soon enough.</b></p>
<p>It’s up to you do decide whether you want to continue on and dive deep into the bottomless pool of your own creativity to surface with new ideas and applications.</p>
<p>Our target is that tiny school of small fish called serials.</p>
<p>Let’s see how they’re biting today…</p>
<p><i>(From the Introduction)</i></p>
<p><strong>New in Version 2.0:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-family: 'Noto Sans','sans-serif'; font-size: 14px;">A definitive guide to the single principle that defines what a cliffhanger is, how to write it, what makes it effective.</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Noto Sans','sans-serif'; font-size: 14px;">How to publish wide and increase your book royalty income.</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Noto Sans','sans-serif'; font-size: 14px;">A breakdown of why writing short stories is more remunerative than long novels – and how your short story anthologies replace them in your sales.</li>

<p><strong>There’s a little-known fact that animals can talk.</strong></p>
<p>Every bit as well as humans.</p>
<p>It’s humans that have the real problem – <em>listening</em>.</p>
<p>There are probably a dozen-dozen reasons why we humans won’t simply open up our ears and hear them.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter what type of animal – dog, cat, cow, crow, coyote.</p>
<p>The other simple fact is: people don’t listen, so they don’t hear. Voices which are every bit as clear as someone standing next to your ear.</p>
<p>Because you don’t listen with your ears – you listen with your mind.</p>
<p>And then you can hear them clearly. No matter what species. No matter their size or lack of it.</p>
<p>Until you can start to hear them, here’s the next best thing…</p>
<p>Stories about humans who can hear all the voices around them – or perhaps just one.</p>
<p><em>If you can’t hear them yourself, you can at least read about them.</em></p>

<p><strong>Excerpt:</strong></p>
<p>DAD BROUGHT A PUPPY home today. Of course I fell in love with it right off.</p>
<p>Who couldn’t – when it just wants to climb right up and slobber wet kisses all over my face and hands.</p>
<p>But I didn’t smile. I felt better, but not that much.</p>
<p>I just sat on the floor with her and watched her figure out the house. Dad had brought the leftover playthings from her former home. She was the last of the litter, and her own mom had died soon after giving birth. The rest of that litter were black labs, like their mom. This puppy was golden. The color of my own strawberry blond hair.</p>
<p>When I told my Dad I was going to name her Kat, I said it in my usual flat voice. The one I’d had since the funeral. The one that went along without smiling.</p>
<p>It made sense to me. We were both blond. We’d both lost our mom’s. My whole name was Kathleen. And maybe this cute little dog could keep me company.</p>
<p>“Are you serious?” Dad was smiling at me, but when my reaction didn’t change, he nodded. “OK, ‘Kat’ it is.” He pulled out a bag with water- and food-dishes for her and put them by me. And a bag of puppy food to go along.</p>
<p>Then patted my head. “You can put these wherever you think is best. But I’d suggest the kitchen where we can clean up after her more easily.”</p>
<p>Another big bag had a brand new dog bed. Just her size, plus some she could grow into. When Dad put this on the living room floor, Kat walked right over to it, walked around inside it and sniffed, then laid down. Her head went on her paws. I just watched her from where I was kneeling on the carpet.</p>
<p>“Well, I hope this is temporary.”</p>
<p>I raised my eyebrow at this voice in my head. It was coming from Kat.</p>
<p>“What do you think? I’d prefer to be in your room. Don’t worry, I know enough to do my business outside.”</p>
<p>I just nodded at Kat. My Dad was still looking at me, curious about my reaction. So he hadn’t heard Kat at all…</p>

<p><strong>Slavery-Racism has spread even into future history</strong> – and has never been completely wiped out.</p>
<p>The modern version has the somewhat polite name of “human trafficking”. And some of that is being born at the wrong area at the wrong time.</p>
<p>But in the future, it’s still there – waiting for us.</p>
<p>We only have to read the prescient writings of those who came before us in order to understand what it is we are fighting, and why.</p>
<p>At least this fiction can paint a different picture than the harsh realities of our present day. And maybe give us some ideas of what can be done to eradicate it – and some courage to do so. Before that future becomes too very real…</p>
<p><strong>Space Opera</strong> is a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, chivalric romance, and risk-taking. Set mainly or entirely in outer space, it usually involves conflict between opponents possessing advanced abilities, futuristic weapons, and other sophisticated technology.</p>
<p>The term has no relation to music, as in a traditional opera, but is instead a play on the terms “soap opera”, a melodramatic television series, and “horse opera”, which was coined during the 1930s to indicate a formulaic Western movie. Space operas emerged in the 1930s and continue to be produced in literature, film, comics, television, and video games.</p>
<p><strong>The Golden Age of Pulp Magazine Fiction </strong>derives from pulp magazines (often referred to as “the pulps”) as they were inexpensive fiction magazines that were published from 1896 to the late 1950s. The term pulp derives from the cheap wood pulp paper on which the magazines were printed. In contrast, magazines printed on higher-quality paper were called “glossies” or “slicks”.</p>
<p>The pulps gave rise to the term pulp fiction. Pulps were the successors to the penny dreadfuls, dime novels, and short-fiction magazines of the 19th century. Although many writers wrote for pulps, the magazines were proving grounds for those authors like Robert Heinlein, Louis LaMour, “Max Brand”, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and many others. The best writers moved onto longer fiction required by paperback publishers. Many of these authors have never been out of print, even long after their passing.</p>

<p class="description"><b>Murray Leinster</b> (June 16, 1896 – June 8, 1975) was a nom de plume of William Fitzgerald Jenkins, an American writer of science fiction. He wrote and published more than 1,500 short stories and articles, 14 movie scripts, and hundreds of radio scripts and television plays.</p>
<p class="description">Leinster’s first science fiction story, “The Runaway Skyscraper”, appeared in the February 22, 1919 issue of Argosy, and was reprinted in the June 1926 issue of Hugo Gernsback’s first science fiction magazine, Amazing Stories. In the 1930s, he published several science fiction stories and serials in Amazing and Astounding Stories (the first issue of Astounding included his story “Tanks”). He continued to appear frequently in other genre pulps such as Detective Fiction Weekly and Smashing Western, as well as Collier’s Weekly beginning in 1936 and Esquire starting in 1939.</p>
<p class="description"><b>Space Opera</b> is a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, chivalric romance, and risk-taking. Set mainly or entirely in outer space, it usually involves conflict between opponents possessing advanced abilities, futuristic weapons, and other sophisticated technology.</p>
<p class="description">The term has no relation to music, as in a traditional opera, but is instead a play on the terms “soap opera”, a melodramatic television series, and “horse opera”, which was coined during the 1930s to indicate a formulaic Western movie. Space operas emerged in the 1930s and continue to be produced in literature, film, comics, television, and video games.</p>
<p class="description"><b>The Golden Age of Pulp Magazine Fiction</b> derives from pulp magazines (often referred to as “the pulps”) as they were inexpensive fiction magazines that were published from 1896 to the late 1950s. The term pulp derives from the cheap wood pulp paper on which the magazines were printed. In contrast, magazines printed on higher-quality paper were called “glossies” or “slicks”. (Wikipedia)</p>
<p class="description">The pulps gave rise to the term pulp fiction. Pulps were the successors to the penny dreadfuls, dime novels, and short-fiction magazines of the 19th century. Although many writers wrote for pulps, the magazines were proving grounds for those authors like Robert Heinlein, Louis LaMour, “Max Brand”, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and many others. The best writers moved onto longer fiction required by paperback publishers. Many of these authors have never been out of print, even long after their passing.</p>
