What’s New Science and Reviews in 2022? Find out as I go through breaking science news and book reviews so far this year.
Let’s begin with military science, which is becoming military SciFi.
A 1000-mile cannon would be revolutionary, but it’d be rather like a hypersonic weapon on a movable platform. One of my favorite military SciFi series is by John Ringo concerning the invasion of the alien Posleen. In it, he has a super cannon mounted on a battleship–and a tank.
Have you read John Ringo’s Posleen/Aldenata series? Let me know and I’ll send you a free copy of:

Contact Butterball! Central Illinois is being taken over by turkeys!
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2021
I really wasn’t expecting much from a book about zombie turkeys. I don’t watch the zombie tv shows or movies, so I was expecting this to be some creepy story where evil wins, and good people are destroyed. Guess what? That’s pretty much how this book was, yet it was done in a fun and entertaining way.
I didn’t think it was hilarious, as some people said. However, it was obviously written tongue in cheek with lots of opportunities to chuckle…if you aren’t worried where the next zombie outbreak is happening!
I moved to Florida from Central Illinois MANY years ago, so I was pleasantly surprised when the zombie plague visited all the small towns back home. I wonder if there really are turkey farms around there? Hmmm, I DO remember lots of corn. Maybe I had better go on Amazon and get me a flame thrower before I go back up to visit!
Grab some snacks, (Anything but corn chips,) and enjoy a good read. (You’ll understand when you finish reading it!)

More New Science
I can’t let the new James Webb Space Telescope go by unnoticed.
While we’re on the topic of space, I have to share this video of SpaceX’s science-fiction gantry, designed to catch a returning booster.

Just finished this book tonight. Charles Gannon writes a crackling good story about John Ringo’s zombie apocalypse from a wholly different point of view in a wholly new setting.
The point of view? A sailing ship full of teens learning to sail on the ocean. Their plan is to sail to South Georgia Island off Antarctica. The point of view is Alvaro, a savant from the tough streets of LA with a perfect memory.
He doesn’t hit it off with anyone among the other teens, but especially Chloe–a hyper aggressive and hostile teen from Alaska. The gruff and taciturn captain tasks him with learning to navigate. Then he has to teach it to the other teens–starting with Chloe. First he has to teach her how to read.
By this time the zombie outbreak has begun around the world. The captain maintains radio silence and trains the teens for survival in the new world. Their first challenge is at South Georgia Island.
Altogether a satisfying read.

Laugh at this Science-Fiction on Video
This video defies description. But it’s funny, if you use the subtitles, or if you speak Russian.

Short stories to keep you looking for zombies!
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2022
I started by reading this author’s book about the Turkey Apocalypse. I had so much fun (yes, fun, even though the turkeys were out killing everyone and thing in their path!) Then I read about the Undead Mother in law. Even better! Each book gets more accomplished than the next.
This one was a surprise! I thought I had purchased the same book twice (I’ve been known to do that!) However, this is just a group of short stories that are prequels or sequels to the others that fill in some questions I didn’t know I had or start me on a new train of thought.
Fun to read! Just make sure you check all wildlife around you for metal caps before you settle in! They’re watching you!
