Episode 159 is going to really show off where BMU is going in my humble opinion! We have a musical selection as usual but then, a poem by David Kopaska-Merkel called "Eel Time" which really puts a spin on an "alien invasion" Crystal Wizard brings us an article titled "What is Science Fiction" and follows that up with a great update of what is available new this month at Abandoned Towers!
From the blog I review a new online comix called ManMachine by Royce Lee and finally Colin P. Davies' Chicken part two from his very talented collection of short stories called Tall Tales on the Iron Horse. Chicken as you recall takes place in the near future when the polar ice caps have melted inundating the coastal regions. Left behind to fare for themselves are the forgotten elements of society. Let to their own devices, there is little incentive to "functioning members of the human race" inventing bizarre and dangerous activities to offset the boredom brought on by almost complete isolation. Part 2 follows one group on a bizarre and deadly game of "Chicken"!
Climb with us onto that topmost rail and step out into nothingness........ its time for Beam Me Up
