Book Review: Ether Ore (Enclave Publishing, 2011)

As you all probably know by now, I am a huge fan of SF and fantasy.   As such, I was excited a few years ago to find out about Enclave (then Marcher Lord) Publishing, a publishing house dedicated to Christian speculative fiction.   Morgan L. Busse’s books are published through them ( Daughter of Light, etc).   Unfortunately, few of their books are available at the local library or even through inter-library loan.   So I was very happy to run across this collection of stories, Ether Ore !   Now I know which of their authors to put on my wish list. “Armed” – Jeff Gerke           This SF novella is a parable for men.   A miner strikes it rich, but when he brings his find in to be assayed, he meets a young boy who will cause him to question the reasons for his actions.   As long as you are okay with robot allegories, you’ll enjoy it.   The first part of the story is strong… but the middle is us...
