Elizabeth Sandifer created Eruditorum Press. She’s not really sure why she did that, and she apologizes for the inconvenience. She currently writes Last War in Albion, a history of the magical war between Alan Moore and Grant Morrison. She used to write TARDIS Eruditorum, a history of Britain told through the lens of a ropey sci-fi series. She also wrote Neoreaction a Basilisk, writes comics these days, and has ADHD so will probably just randomly write some other shit sooner or later. Support Elizabeth on Patreon.

    That is a gorgeous cover. So, this book is about, what, finding an ancient spacecraft in the middle of the jungle? The amazing derring-do it takes to get it up and running? The heroic strength and bravery of a test-pilot to launch it back into space?

      I do have a headcanon story to go with the painting, and in fact my intention is to eventually expand it to encompass some of that (not in time for the book launch alas – too many things came up at once to allow for it).

      For the purposes of the cover though, it’s entirely allegorical.

    Awesome.

    Would this be one of the ebooks Patreon backers get automatically, out of curiosity?

      Yep. All Eruditorum Press books to Patreon backers.

      Which is a bit of a foot-shoot in terms of Amazon ranking, but unlike certain fecal obsessives I can name I don’t do things like cherry pick easy Amazon categories to top or release in ebook only to goose my rankings. 🙂

    Do you think Vox Day will write a rebuttal book titled ‘Futuristic Literature Isn’t What It Used to Be’?

      The burning question would be whether Mr Day submits to the cultural marxist conceit of only having one chapter 5 this time…

        Who was it who said “Marxism is teleological so we demand each book only have one chapter 5, dammit.”

        One of the Frankfurt school, I think…

    Note #1 to self: I need to register to vote in the Hugos this year ASAP.

    Note #2: Figure out what category James best fits in, because his covers have been consistently amazing.

      I doubt I’d have any chance of winning, but if you’re serious I think the relevant category would be Best Fan Artist. Phil does give me a nominal fee for the covers, but not what is considered a professional sum (and as a fan I’m fine with that, which is why I’m still doing them).

        I may not think you have that much chance of winning, either; but I’m absolutely serious about wanting to nominate you because I believe your covers are amazing enough to deserve it.
