Former military intelligence officer turned military-sf writer Robert Buettner is the subject of the 47th Adventures in SciFi Publishing podcast.
The first three volumes in Robert’s Jason Wander series are out now from Orbit US and will all be published by Orbit UK in August:
- #1 – Orphanage [US / UK]
- #2 – Orphan’s Destiny [US / UK]
- #3 – Orphan’s Journey [US / UK]
I’ve just finished Orphanage myself and I thought it was a cracking, high-octane read that will definitely appeal to fans of Allan Cole & Chris Bunch’s Sten series, but don’t just take my word for it: check out these two recent reviews of Orphan’s Journey at bookreviewsandmore and sffworld.

Philip Palmer is the author of the fabulous debut Debatable Space, to be published by Orbit in January. He is also a dramatist of some note, and his short play Gaza is being recorded today to be broadcast on Radio 4 tomorrow at 7pm. Philip imagines what it’s like for ordinary people caught up in the violence and in-fighting in Gaza City, as well as portraying the reactions of British nationals working in the region.
The play will be repeated on Sunday, and you can catch it for a further week on the Listen Again section of the BBC website.
Do have a listen if you get the chance!
