Conversations from the Edge - Bog

What inspired George R.R. Martin, the creator of the hugely successful Game of Thrones franchise? Why did Lois McMaster, winner of six Hugo awards, start writing science fiction? How did the Vietnam war experience impact David Drake and his writing of military science fiction? Get the answers to these and many other questions with these detailed interviews of some of the most iconic figures in science fiction and fantasy. These interviews show a very intimate, unknown side of these authors; many sharing very personal experiences (the good and the bad) that made them the writers that they are today. Galaxy’s Edge Magazine is known for its interviews of science fiction and fantasy professionals, and the list of writers and other professionals it has published reads like a who’s who of the field, including George R.R. Martin, Mercedes Lackey, Larry Niven, Connie Willis, Lois McMaster Bujold, David Drake and a host of other authors every science fiction reader is familiar with. This book collects all the interviews published in Galaxy’s Edge Magazine from its inception through to its 34th issue. In many cases these are expanded, original versions of the interviews published in the magazine (which had to be originally condensed for due to limitations of the magazine format.)Some of these conversations will make you think hard, some will make you smile and laugh, and some may even make you cry. But what each and every interview will do is give you a unique insight into the genre and the lives of these giants of the industry.
