On This Day in Supervillain History
67 years ago, the Martian Manhunter encountered his first supervillainous adversary in Detective Comics #274, facing off against the Human Flame and his fire-spouting nipple hoses.

Today, I am recommending four essential works by Donald Wandrei, who co-founded Arkham House with August Derleth to preserve H.P. Lovecraft’s work and wrote SF on a vast, cosmic scale.
The Red Brain (1927): As cosmic dust smothers the universe, the last surviving minds, sheltering on the giant star Antares, struggle to find a way to stave off extinction. Wandrei’s chilling vision of the end of everything culminates in a uniquely disturbing twist.
Colossus (1934): When an astronomer discovers that the universe is smaller than anyone believed, the pilot of Earth’s first interstellar ship sets out of find its edge. It’s mind-bending, scale-shifting SF that puts the very nature of existence into perspective.
A Race Through Time (1933): Two rial scientists, one aboard and atomic-powered craft and the other relying on drugs that suspect aging, race toward the Earth of a million from now, with the woman they love at stake. Pulpy, audacious, and Wandrei at his most epic.
The Web is Easter Island (1948): A strange green statuette linked to a trail of deaths draws an archeologist into a nightmare that leads from Stonehenge to Easter Island and far beyond our own age. It’s a strange, ambitious novel that blends weird horror with speculative science.

Today, I am recommending four essential works by Richard McKenna, a 22-year Navy veteran best known for The Sand Pebbles, who also wrote a handful of quietly brilliant SF stories about the mind’s power to reshape reality.
Casey Agonistes (1958): In a tuberculosis ward, dying men conjure an invisible mischievous ape as their defiance against despair. It’s a funny and heartbreaking short story.
Hunter, Come Home (1963): An alien world’s ecosystem resists colonization, and a young man must choose between his culture’s code of conquest and the planet’s strange, interconnected life This novelette is early ecological SF.
"The Secret Place” (1966): A wartime geologist hunting uranium in the Oregon desert finds the key in a lonely young woman’s childhood fantasy of a hidden world. This short story won the Nebula Award posthumously.
Fiddler’s Green (1967): Castaways adrift and starving in an open boat imagine a better place so intensely that reality begins to bend in this haunting novella.

Amman- The Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF) executed “Operation Jordanian Deterrence - Hmoud”, targeting hideouts of terrorist organizations in southern Syria, in coordination with the Syrian government.
The operation was conducted in retaliation for the martyrs of last Friday’s Hmoud church attack in Karak. The terrorists behind the Hmoud attack have ties to the targeted terrorist organizations.
RJAF fighter jets destroyed a number of terrorist locations, killing and wounding several terrorists and destroying their equipment.
The Jordan Armed Forces stressed that the Arab Army will stand firm against those who seek to undermine Jordanians’ security, reiterating that it will continue working to counter terrorism at its roots, while safeguarding Jordan and ensuring the safety of its people.
May the souls of the Karak martyrs rest in peace, and may Jordan continue to be resilient and secure.

I’m very sad to hear of the passing of Walter Koenig, aka Pavel Chekov from Star Trek. I got to meet him on a few occasions, and he was always genuine, thoughtful, and a little anxious in a way that made him very relatable. R.I.P.

Today, I am recommending four essential works by Tom Purdom, a Philadelphia-based science fiction writer and music critic who enjoyed a remarkable late-career run of more than thirty stories in Asimov’s.
Fossil Games (1999): Left obsolete by each new generation of genetic enhancements, our hero joins thousands of other under-enhanced humans fleeing the Solar System aboard a hollowed-out asteroid. Their voyage turns into a struggle over whether to settle a new world or push on.
Bank Run (2005): On a frontier colony world, a banker finds himself hunted by genetically altered mercenaries in the pay of a debt-ridden landowner who wants to seize his bank. He fights for his freedom with his wits and some white-knuckle financial maneuvering.
The Mists of Time (2007): Two unseen time travelers with clashing views watch a tiny Royal Navy schooner pursue a slave ship off the coast of Africa in the 1840s. A moving tribute to the Navy's campaign against the slave trade.
Romance on Four Worlds: A Casanova Quartet (2015): Four stories follow Joseph Louis Baske, a 21st-century Casanova whose love affairs draw him into intrigue on the Moon, Mercury, Phobos, and in the Kuiper Belt.

Today, I’m recommending four essential works by Kathleen Ann Goonan, whose fiction fused nanotechnology, jazz, and speculative visions of humanity’s future. Her distinctive approach to science fiction led some critics to describe her work as “nanopunk”.
In War Times (2007): A young American soldier in WWII becomes entangled with secret technology that could alter the course of history. This novel won the John W. Campbell Memorial Award and was selected for the American Library Association’s 2008 Best Science Fiction reading list.
Queen City Jazz (1994): The first book in the Nanotech Quartet, set in a post-apocalyptic future where nanotechnology has transformed Cincinnati into a surreal landscape of bio-engineered life and once-utopian tech gone awry.
The Bones of Time (1996): Set in a near-future Hawaii, this science fiction thriller follows a conspiracy to clone King Kamehameha, while a mathematician's radical theories about time and space. This novel was shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award.
Crescent City Rhapsody (2000): A Nebula Award-nominated prequel to Queen City Jazz, exploring the origins of the nanotech-transformed world through an alien signal that disrupts global communications and triggers radiation biological changes.

Young, Fred Hoyle, Eleanor Arnason, Bertram A. Chandler, Charles Eric Maine, and Tanith Lee.
Today, I’m recommending four essential works by Tanith Lee, best known for her fantasy and horror, though her smaller body of science fiction is well worth seeking out.
The Silver Metal Lover (1981): In a future Earth reshaped by catastrophe, sheltered teen Jane falls in love with a Silver, a robot minstrel whose music and apparent humanity upend everything she’s been taught about machines.
Electric Forest (1979): Magdala Cled, an outcast born with features considered hideously deformed in her society, is offered a beautiful synthetic body. But the transformation comes with a catch...
Don’t Bite the Sun (1976): In a domed city where young people enjoy limitless pleasures, can change sex and bodies at will, and shrug off death, one restless teenager searches for meaning in a seemingly perfect existence.
The Thaw (1979): In this darkly comic SF novelette, a young woman is tasked with helping her distant ancestor adjust to life after being revived from cryogenic stasis. But something has gone terribly wrong.
