🔖 That’s a wrap on @alankdell.bsky.social’s “The Shadow of Arcadia”, 📗 of “The Augment Saga”.

Now I’ve seen the full shadow play, and pieces have been triggered for future episodes.

This was originally a @beckymreads.bsky.social rec. via #BookTube that started me off.

Four paperback books arranged in a row on a table. They make up the published works for Alan K. Dell’s “The Augment Saga”. From left to right the books are: The Re-Emergence (novella) From the Grave of the Gods (book one) The Flight of the Aurora (novella) The Shadow of Arcadia (book two) A branded bookmark sits atop two of the books at a jaunty angle.

1️⃣6️⃣ On this 16th day of “The Advent of Winter” we have a newcomer to the scene, one Dom McDermott with “A Fighting Chance” - the one about the smell of magic in Winter.

Hmmm, perhaps @dominishbooks.bsky.social has more information on this one?! 😜

📬 I learned about a new-to-me “Blake’s 7” book from the @maximumpowerpodcast.com pod, which I promptly went and looked for.

Turns out there are two volumes, but I’ve only found book 1 so far 🤗

A paperback edition of Neil and Sue Perryman’s “Adventures with the Wife and Blake - Book 1” sat on a table. The blurb on the back of Neil and Sue Perryman’s “Adventures with the Wife and Blake”. "If this is Saurian Major, Id hate to see Saurian Minor..' - Sue Perryman Join Sue as she watches Blake's 7 for the very first time in this completely unofficial and extremely sweary guide to the cult classic. This volume covers the first 26 episodes - The Way Back to Star One - when idealistic terrorist Roj Blake was at the helm, Travis was on his case, and the galaxy was staffed by Space Vampires. Will Sue join Team Blake or Team Avon? Will she fall hopelessly in love with Vila? And how long will it take for her to ask, "Is it Servalan?"

1️⃣5️⃣ Here we are reading “An Act of Patience” by @hollytinsl3y.bsky.social on Day 15 of “The Advent of Winter”!

A smart mouth and a cocky manner about him. I do enjoy a keen mind and eagle-like observation 🤗 Who/what is this, what happens next, etc? 😯🥹🧐

📺 TOB asks:

Was 1950s the “golden age of Science Fiction”?
What is ‘literary modernism’?
Does a bad, big business event that impacted a now mature genre include Star Wars?!
Did SW have a negative effect on SF by bringing back ‘SciFi’ - rayguns & rocket ships?

📖 Half-way in to @alankdell.bsky.social ‘s “The Shadow of Arcadia” and dramatic space scenes have resulted in some character choices being shown up as daft as they are (he’s earned his 🤦‍♂️).

Now, a resolution is considering LEO vs Suborbital. Quality choices 🤗

📗 I found that I liked reading the @cultedge.bsky.social ”Blake’s 7 Production Diary” after watching the 📺 show.

It’s been calling my name for a while but I‘m starting to read the Series B Production Diary today, after watching “Star One” 🤗

1️⃣3️⃣ Today’s tale on day 13 of “The Advent of Winter“ is @nataliekelda.bsky.social‘s “Winter’s Dance”.

This one struck me as having a bit of an SF feel to it, while Oro and Benu seem to have more going on than I expected at first.
