Reseña del libro "Extravehicular Activities: The Complete Science Fiction Stories 2021-2022 (The Complete Science Fiction Stories of Raymund Eich) (en Inglés)"
Leave the safety of your space capsule for the dangers of billion-year old alien derelicts, intelligent insects with mysterious motives, espionage in an alternate 1920s Paris, and rogue reconstructed dinosaurs.These wonders and more await in the fourth volume of the Complete Science Fiction Stories of Raymund Eich.Includes stories Riddlepigs and the Cryla, Minnie and the Trekker, A Fistful of Monopoles, and Return Blessing, and speculative fact article The Believers Shall Inherit the Solar System, all previously published in Analog magazine.==========Want to learn more about science fiction author Raymund Eich? Here's a Q&A to tell you more about this distinctive voice in new science fiction.First off: Raymund Eich. Am I spelling it correctly? And how do you pronounce it?That's the correct spelling. My immigrant parents split the difference between the Anglo-French Raymond and the German Raimund.My last name is pronounced with a long-i vowel sound, like both syllables in Einstein. The preferred consonant sound is a sh. Overall, one syllable, eye-sh.Tough to pronounce, and also tough to spell. I've seen Elch, Einch, Etch, Eitch, Iech, Eric, and Erich. The misspellings used to bother me, but I've grown philosophical about them.What are some of your publishing credits?I've had short stories published in Analog science fiction and fact magazine and the sci fi anthology Surviving Tomorrow. And over a dozen novels and six short story collections are available as ebooks and paperback books, and some also as audiobooks.A lot of writers focus on particular subgenres. I go wherever the muse takes me. Military sci fi, exploration, colonization, aliens, no aliens... when I write a story I go on the same journey my reader takes, from Middle America to the ends of the Universe.Final question. Science fiction, sci fi, SF, speculative fiction, or spec fic?Is it an adventure on future Earth, an exploration of a distant planet, a discovery beyond the limits of human knowledge, or a journey across deep space? Then I'll read it. The genre fiction label doesn't matter.
