Jay Lake
Jay Lake and Ken Scholes. The Starship Mechanic. (Tor.com, January 2010)
Short in the reading, likely to be long in the memory.
Jay Lake. On the Human Plan. (The Year’s Best Science Fiction & Fantasy 2010).
..a story that benefits from careful reading, there’s a lot of thought gone into its writing, with some clever imagery and thoughtful turns of phrase.
Jay Lake. Human Error. (Interzone #226, Jan/Feb 2010)
Gritty, sweaty, emotional drama, with the focus on the human relationships rather than the science or the technology, as is Lake’s trademark.
Jay Lake. Permanent Fatal Errors. (Is Anybody Out There?)
A tight drama from Lake in his ‘Sunspin’ setting.
Rich Horton. The Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy 2009.
A late arrival on my doorstep, and it’s taken much longer to finish the review than I had hoped. Note to self : faster dude, faster!
Jay Lake. A Water Matter. (The Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy 2009)
As Lake invariably does he puts effort into creating a interesting background to his story, and its visceral in terms of the action and denouement.
The New Space Opera 2. (ed Gardner Dozois and Jonathan Strahan, Eos 2009).
A big book, with a huge amount of top quality SF.
Interzone #225, November/December 2009.
A strong issue, with stories by Jason Sanford, Rebecca J. Payne, Colin Harvey, Lavie Tidhar, Shannon Page and Jay Lake.
Shannon Page and Jay Lake. Bone Island. (Interzone #225, Nov/Dec 2009)
High quality writing, subtly poetic, and giving the impression that you’re watching one part of a long, long story with real characters.
Jay Lake. To Raise a Mutiny Betwixt Yourselves. (The New Space Opera 2).
Set in the same ‘post-Mistake’ setting of Lake’s ‘Torquing Vacuum’, which appeared in Clarkesworld Magazine a few weeks back, and which impressed me.
