On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied 'droid - a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as "Murderbot." Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety.īut in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn't a primary concern.

All Systems Red is the tense first science fiction adventure novella in Martha Wells' series The Murderbot Diaries. It’s a true shame that people in our modern world still have to feel ashamed about themselves and their personal decisions all because other people decide that their tolerance – or their abstaining from hate and violence, really – is not worth the happiness of others. Regardless of whether they’re actually trans, non-binary, or otherwise, gender non-confirming, all of our readers have surely heard more than their fair contact with transphobia or general gender stigma. What is an intrinsically simple matter at its heart has spent many years being complicated by those who do not want to understand it or refuse to. Nowadays it seems that the false issues being raised with the subject are beyond number and that the actual steps that need to be taken are being lamented at every possible point. Only, of course, would only be possible to believe it if one hadn’t waded through the ever-expanding mess that is social media for the last decade or so, which is a challenge that most of us cannot say that we’ve passed in any capacity. One could easily assume that discussing gender identity isn’t much of a controversial subject and that it and its related matters are easily discussed with logic and acceptance in hand.

Perhaps faith had kept her warm before, she reflected sadly, faith in the comfortable rhythms of her life, and faith in Nysander, the wizard who’d been a part of her soul for two centuries. Never in all her three hundred and three years had she felt the cold so keenly. Magyana pulled her sodden cloak more closely around her. The unlucky soldiers on sentry duty did the same, their green tabards the only spots of color against this grim palette. In the makeshift corrals, the horses huddled together, their backs to the wind. In the distance, the tents of her queen’s sprawling encampment billowed and creaked along the riverbank, black specters on a dun plain. The sleet-laden wind buffeted Magyana, whipping wet strands free from the wizard’s thick white braid as she trudged across the churned ground of the battlefield. SHOUT speaks truth to power in a loud, clear voice-and once you hear it, it is impossible to ignore.

Frank Baum (1956-1919) was an American author, actor, and filmmaker best known for his children‘s books, particularly `The Wonderful Wizard of Oz‘ (1900) and its thirteen sequels. Along with the previous novel in the Oz series, `Ozma of Oz‘ was adapted into a movie, `Return to Oz‘ in 1985, featuring Fairuza Balk as Dorothy. Not everything is new however, as Dorothy unites with old friends and places. She washes ashore in the land of Ev, a fairyland that has recently lost its royal family, and Dorothy is once more entangled in the conflicts of a foreign place. The Law of Oz and Other Stories reveals that Pastoria became Ozmas father when the Fairy Queen Lurline left the baby in his care after enchanting the Land of Oz for the second time. Good news for those who found themselves missing the original heroine of Oz in the second book because in `Ozma of Oz‘ (1907), Dorothy is back! Traveling to Australia with her uncle, Dorothy is once again caught up in a natural disaster – a huge storm at sea that separates her from her uncle. As time passes, Ozma becomes friends with a returning Dorothy Gale, and the twosome grow very close in the later books when Dorothy moves to the royal palace permanently. |
