It's my #fridaybookrec and here's a treat for you, courtesy of my parents' book collection. Who knew they'd #sf? It's the rare classic SF that works this well even today, as this one does for me. Enjoy!

A #treat for #bookqw! (I do consider #esen to be a bit like chocolate. Tasty and ever-so-addictive.) @dawbooks.bsky.social

It's my #fridaybookrec and I've picked a beauty for you. If you know Jeffrey A. Carver, then you'll know it's bittersweet to extoll the work of a friend when he's no longer with us to share it. But what a wealth of stories he's given us.

Today's word is APPEAR. Today's #BookQW from the story NOT THAT KIND OF WAR in the eCollection Shorter Parts of Valor which includes a Torin Kerr/Confederation story original to the collection. Available where you buy your digital reading. Shop indie if you can.

Digital cover upper left with the image of a woman in uniform holding a really big gun that makes the centre piece of the cover expanded on the upper right. Under it, the quote.

Every now and then, she could see the desire to do great things rise in his eyes.
"You want to live on after you die, Staff." He danced his fingers over his touchpad, drawing out a martial melody. "Having done
something that makes it into a song."
Torin didn't so much want Lieutenant Franks to live on after he died as to live on for a good long time, so she smacked that desire down every time she saw it and worried about what would happen should it make an appearance when she wasn't around. The enemy smacked down with considerably more force. And what little she'd heard of their music, sucked.
