內容簡介
On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog. Or an alien, for that matter. Physics nerd Steven Bach gets together with an internet acquaintance only to find that his acquaintance is decidedly not human. What follows is an elaborate hide-and-seek. From the humans. From the aliens. But when the alien hive queen herself gets involved, the stakes get very high. Can Steven Bach, his girlfriend Barbara, and the alien Arthur derail the hive queen's plans to destroy humanity? The race is on. .
AN INTERVIEW WITH RICH WEYAND This looks like a new series. That's right. The Vegan series. I'm not sure how many books in this series, though. It could be a standalone book. That would be new for me, but it could be. I finished the major story arc, though there are a lot of threads I could pick up on. So what's the gist? A nerdy physics guy, in college, meets up with an internet acquaintance, and finds he is decidedly not human. Not human? No, he's a big insect. I need to explain. The title of this book, "A Gent of Vega," is an homage to James H. Schmitz, who published a short story called "Agent of Vega" in 1949. It was the title story of his 1960 anthology. James H. Schmitz is something of a hero of mine, as he pioneered strong, independent women in science fiction. At a time when women in science fiction stories were damsel in distress or merely for decoration, he put them front and center in his stories. Looking back, I've done that myself, in every one of my novels. He was a huge influence on us all. So that's why the 1940s vibe on the cover? Exactly. I went back to the forties. The 1940s cheesecake cover. Luca Oleastri and Paola Giari of Rotwang Studio in Italy did an amazing job on the cover. They've done like twenty-six covers for me now. I also went back to the 1940s for the setup. The aliens are giant bugs. I even have an evolutionary explanation for how that came about, but it's very 1940s to have the aliens be giant bugs. So what's the action? The hive queen - on Vega - finds out that one of her spies on Earth has exposed himself to the Earthlings, the 'monkeymen.' She is not amused. She calls him back for consequences. Our heroes go along. Oh, boy. Then what? Oh, no. No spoilers. But it's fun. Alpha readers loved it. How did it write? About par for me these days. Forty-six writing days at about 1800 words a day. Slower than for the Childers or EMPIRE series, but I'm being much more open to doing other things in my life than just writing. For a while there, when I started a new book, my wife would say, 'Well, see you in a month.'
