Today, December 7, is the birthday of Leigh Brackett (1915-1978). I’ve read a couple of her stories, but I’m not up for a post tonight. I’ve spent the evening finishing grading final exams and responding to student inquiries as to why their lab grade isn’t an A. (“You have multiple zeroes. Try attending all the labs next time. “)
I’ll post something of substance sometime in the next few days. But I didn’t want this day to pass without mentioning it.
One of my favorite writers !
Queen of Space Opera
and her husband Edmond Hamilton
While I was studying in school
I got a book from my sister The Sword of Rhiannon
I read it many times and still have a plan to read it again adventures on ancient Mars!!!
She also wrote an early script The Empire strikes back Star Wars saga
Sword of Rhiannon is great. They used to publish it in one of those double novels with Hour of The Dragon by Robert E. Howard. Talk about a literary one-two punch!
Yes, The Sword of Rhiannon is an excellent book.
