#Giveaway Interview REENTRY by Peter Cawdron @PeterCawdron Ends 6.30 #Meow

June 12, 2019 By Mary

by Peter Cawdron

INTERVIEW with PETER CAWDRON

    1. What is on your nightstand?
      Margaret Atwood’s Blind Assassin and Stephen Baxter’s The Massacre of Mankind
    2. What author would you totally fan?
      John Greene. My daughter has all his books, so I’ve read most of them and I love how he can draw in an audience without any props. All too often, science fiction writers rely on the sensational—lasers and aliens—and forget that it’s characters that make a story come to life.
    3. What makes you cringe?
      My past. I write a lot of redemption stories because of my own personal arc through life. I’ve made plenty of mistakes and gone down my fair share of blind alleys, so I try to be kind and help others see the importance of science and equality.
    4. Do you obsessively plot out each point or just go with the flow?
      I generally have a key concept in mind. I then paint my protagonist into a corner and wonder how they’re going to get out. I don’t like plot devices, so I’m always looking for ingenious ways for them to escape rather than giving them an easy out.
    5. Is there a word you love to use?
      My editor has beaten them out of me (I think).

As I type this, my Turkish Water Cat (Wus) is asleep on the bed behind me. He’s a bundle of frisky fur most days.

Praise for REENTRY


“It’s good to consider the AI possibilities ahead. Peter Cawdron’s REENTRY is a marvelous read but also an intriguing scenario for what might go on within the superintelligences.” ―Vernor Vinge, Hugo Award-winning author of A Fire Upon the Deep and A Deepness in the Sky

After almost dying on Mars, astronaut Liz Anderson returns to Earth, but not to a hero’s welcome. America is in turmoil. The war is over, but the insurgency has just begun. So while life on Mars may have been deadly, at least up there she knew who the enemy was. Along with her, Liz has brought the remnants of the artificial intelligence that waged war on two planets. Buried somewhere deep within the cold electronic circuits lies the last vestiges of her dead partner Jianyu. Liz is torn, unsure whether he’s somehow still alive in electronic form or just a ploy by an adversary that will go to any length to win. Heartbroken and treated with suspicion, she finds herself caught up in the guerrilla war being waged on Earth, wondering if the AI threat is truly gone, or if it has only just begun.
