Arabella of Mars!

by Dylan
(Illinois, Wisconsin)

I had just finished shooting a film I am in for the day when I thought I'd pop down to the nearby bookstore and see what was new in the SF/Fantasy section. Lo and behold, front and center, was a new NOSS book! It's called Arabella of Mars, and it involves a historical take on the genre in the vein of "The Wreck of the Mars Adventure" or "The Daedelus Incident". Mars, and fiction in general, needs more heroines who can handle themselves, so this is doubly welcome!

A quick search online turned up favorable reviews, but sadly I was unable to afford it today. Another time, Arabella!

{Note from Zendexor: So - it's possible to shoot films and appear in them, yet be short of cash on occasion! Also, you have a real new-book bookstore within reach, lucky you. (I have a good one within walking distance but it's all second-hand.) The cover illustration on Arabella of Mars looks most tempting. This could be big stuff.}

All of Them?
by: Dylan

Are they all under copyright? Surely, there are some gems in there that have become public property, although I'm unsure how it works in the UK.

I'm not asking you to spend hours searching for stories you can post on the website, mind you. Not at all. Ehem.

{Copyright is something I ought to know more about. Unfortunately I lack a legalistic mind. I'm more Barsoomian in that respect - as John Carter says, the Martians have no lawyers... I do remember Asimov writing somewhere that he realized he was no longer young when he started having to renew copyrights. Or as he put it, when you start having to renew copyrights, you realize that Late Youth is on the doorstep. -Z.}

Trouble on Triton
by: Dylan

I just read your page on Trouble on Triton! I wish I could read it, but such stories are rather difficult to find if you don't own the magazine.

{I know, it's a big problem especially for Edmond Hamilton fans - though it's getting better in that Haffner Press (bless them) are publishing his complete works. However, those volumes do cost a lot. Hamilton died in 1977; I wonder when copyright lapses - is it after 50 years, or 70? Either way, it's long to wait before I could simply post his tale on-site. - Z.}
