Write On! Features: Predicting The Future With Sci-Fi by Vic Howard

13 January 2023 News, WriteOn Features

By Vic Howard For many years, my bookshelf was filled with spy thrillers. Then the Wall came down and Le Carré, Bagley, Ludlum and all the rest found themselves out of a job and me thirsting for a good read. Patrick O’Brian’s naval history tales helped a little, as did Philip ...
