Hello, New York!
We are tickled that The New York Times used LabLit.com as a resource in a prominent feature about scientists in fiction, and gave it a few name-checks. Respect.
Read the feature here.
And thanks to all those who found us via the piece and have already written in to nominate your favorite books! We’ll take a look and incorporate them in the next List Update if they fit the bill.
There is an up and coming novel , written by a new author Norlan Jacobs, that will change your view of Hollow Earth forever! The Source (Part One: The Seed) It’s about a young mans journey to Hollow Earth, what he finds and how it changes his life forever. It’s science fiction supported by science fact (science faction) The book is available at amazon.com or kindle books.com. for more information go to http://www.dreamweaverproductions24.com or http://www.thesourcepartonethe seed.com. It will make a great gift and hours of enjoyable reading.
What we need to see for the SF crossover section of the List is very accurate and believable scientist characters who are central. Does this book have that?
Fantastic to see the NYT article. Congrats on the well-deserved recognition Jenny.
Thanks, Pam! It’s been fantastic to get so many great suggestions for the List.
Hi Jenny,
I saw the comment by one of my readers evidently, about my book The Source Part One: The Seed, and then I saw your comment and didn’t notice if it ws answered or not. So, I thought I might take the opportunity to comment. The book’s main character is a popular radio talk show host, who interviews individuals on various scientific topics. One of his best friends is a physics professor, and they come across a story about a personal experience of someone who has visited the inner earth. This book takes on the topic with a serious scientific approach even though it is a fictional account based on a true story and facts. It is so loaded with facts that we refer to it as faction instead of pure fiction. I was recently interviewed by Dr. Brooks Agnew, a physisist, who has a radio program on the BBS Radio Network called X-Squared Radio, and he has raved about the book and its scientific pertinence. You might want to contact him at http://www.x2-radio.com, to get his direct comments. Dr.Agnew is the leader of the scientific expedition North Pole Inner Earth Expedition, or NPIEE, which will be taking place this summer in July. Their website for this project is http://www.npiee.com. I feel that The Source Part One The Seed, which is the first book of a trilogy, would be a perfect book for your project. If you have any questions please contact me at my email address listed above. This book might turn out to be a predecessor to the greatest scientific discovery in the history of mankind. I hope this answers your question. Norlan Jacobs
