FASTER THAN LIGHT CONCEPT

by AJ Reissig | Sep 10, 2014 | SCIENCE FICTION

For many science fiction novels and movies, faster than light drive is what makes the storyline possible. Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, The Stars at War (David Weber)…they all use the concept of a warp or hyperdrive. In my own series Chronicles of Aria Prime,...

BOOK REVIEW: WHAT HAPPENED TO MARILYN

by AJ Reissig | Sep 7, 2014 | BOOK REVIEWS

Frequent visitors to AriaPrime.com know that I like to check out new indie scifi. I recently met up with Alexander Rigby on twitter, and he told me about his new novel, What Happened to Marilyn. I’ll admit, this was not my usual science fiction, but after I...

AUTHOR INTERVIEW AT THE MARSDUST NETWORK

by AJ Reissig | Aug 4, 2014 | SCIENCE FICTION

Hello all! I recently did an author interview for The MarsDust Network (who have a fine SciFi website; it’s well worth checking out). Rather than rehash everything said in the interview, I’ll just leave you the link so you can check it out on their site....

BOOK REVIEW: FIRE

by AJ Reissig | Jun 10, 2014 | BOOK REVIEWS

It’s a pretty well-known fact that I’m a big fan of time travel and alternate reality novels. I’ve reviewed a few here on this site (see my review of The Nantucket series), and always on the look for more. So when I learned about Eric Flint’s...

by AJ Reissig | Apr 1, 2014 | SCIENCE FICTION

I remember going to see the original Star Wars in 1977 (yes, I’m that old) and have been a fan of the series since that day. Recently, a friend and I had a “lively” discussion as to what genre Star Wars should fall in… science fiction or fantasy. The...

FAVORITE SCIENCE FICTION DOCTORS

by AJ Reissig | Dec 1, 2013 | SCIENCE FICTION

Galloping about the cosmos is hard work.  Space battles, stolen brains, growing clones, and losing limbs can all take their toll on the heroic crews of your favorite science fiction show.  Even if death is never final in the science fiction world, there will always be...

FAVORITE SCIFI COMEDIES

by AJ Reissig | Nov 16, 2013 | SCIENCE FICTION

Most SciFi movies tend toward action and thrillers, so it is refreshing change of pace to see a SciFi comedy. Some, like Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest are quite obviously spoofs of more serious SciFi entertainment. Others are their own animal. I have compiled a list of...
