On this world and many others, plague outbreaks always involve the government…
After all, they are the ones who are supposed to be protecting us – not just profiting over logistics. In outer space, it’s harder to connect the dots. But those connections are still there.
This anthology of stories take place on other planets, in times yet to come. But they all explore the many questions about how to deal with pandemics – quite regardless of whether the conspiracy theories are ever proved.
Enjoy these short stories in the breaks of time you have.
And remember – if you’re by yourself, no one can be offended if you don’t wear a mask.
Space Opera 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.
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.
The Golden Age of Pulp Magazine Fiction 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‘.
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 La Mour, ‚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.
