		<description><![CDATA[In a moody story of an internal spy caught in the sweep of a coup, &#8220;The Political Prisoner,&#8221; by Charles Coleman Finlay is so dominated by betrayals, interrogations, and imprisonment, it&#8217;s easy to lose track of the setting: a planet where the terraforming is going slower than hoped and religion seems to be the main [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=writingeveryday.wordpress.com&blog=2980432&post=3114&subd=writingeveryday&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

It begins in Britain long after the Romans have left little behind but ruins. The narrator is a bard who seems to have an effect [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=writingeveryday.wordpress.com&blog=2980432&post=3072&subd=writingeveryday&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a double pastiche of Jane Austen and Mary Shelley, John Kessel&#8217;s &#8220;Pride and Prometheus&#8221; introduces Mary Bennett to Viktor Frankenstein. Being a tortured romantic hero,  Viktor fits neatly into Mary&#8217;s world, seeming at first merely to be a moody, intelligent young man who is unaccountably intrigued by what Mary&#8217;s interest in natural philosophy. But [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=writingeveryday.wordpress.com&blog=2980432&post=3045&subd=writingeveryday&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the opening, &#8220;The Ray-Gun: A Love Story&#8220;, by James Alan Gardner made me smile. In storybook prose it tells of a ray-gun and the boy who found it. I most enjoyed the flashes of humor in lines like:
No one on Earth noticed&#8211;not even the shamans who thought dots in the sky were important.

Thus when I meet with these Boston tropes in fiction, my resistance goes way up. In this case, I simply could not fight my way past my prejudices.

Late in his second term, President Perez is embarking on an experiment to &#8220;talk&#8221; to all of his constituents at once.
