I&#8217;ve spent many, many hours happily browsing their Sci-Fi section. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>The book is basically an exploration of some of my favorite Sci-Fi genre tropes, starting with A is for Alien and ending with Z is for Zenith.

I&#8217;ve found someone to work on them, and she says she can get them done quickly, so we&#8217;ll see how that goes. The print versions for the omnibuses may take a bit longer, but they should be out by the summer at the latest.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s just about it.
