About

I search for science fiction and fantasy to review:  self-published , traditionally-published, and classic books, as well as short stories in magazines, anthologies, or web sites. I also assist authors by suggesting improvements to their marketing blurbs, and by proposing settings for stories. Occasionally, I will review movies, boardgames, or computer games.

I have two additional blogs which I tend to neglect, but hope to revitalize: I review non-fiction books at Seven Cities of Paper, and post travel photos at Tracking the Alien Rover.

I hope this blog will help you discover some exciting science fiction, and/or give you some ideas to polish your own writing. Please feel free to use the comments section to suggest new features (or improvements to existing features) or just to say “Hello”.

If you’d like to email me privately, I can be reached using my gmail address: PlanDefCom.  If you don’t receive a response, please try again, my inbox is often flooded and I sometimes miss messages.

  3. I like Catfish City. Well sounds like there is one decent resident at least. 😉

    1. Planetary Defense Command will be pulling its forces out of Catfish City in August. We’re falling back to an emergency bunker on another continent.

  7. I put you in my list of: Very Inspiring Blogger Award Nominee – Shout Outs I love your blog.
    So you are nominated and can go through the process of nominating others. I stopped sending to others when I hit a road block [someone didn’t want to accept or be part of this – & that’s OK] but now I am leaving it up to you. Go to my blog and look at the requirements.- https://artinstructor.wordpress.com/2015/01/10/very-inspiring-blogger-award-nominee-shout-outs

    I noticed you recently started following my blog, so of course with a name like Planetary Defense Command I HAD to give you a look. BOY AM I GLAD I DID! I adore sci-fi and fantasy, but can’t seem to find any decent books to read these days. You, friend, have just gained yourself yet another happy follower.

  10. Thanks very much for following my blog! I’m looking forward to reading more of yours.

  14. I have no idea who you are. I found you on Carol’s blog about the WP reader’s latest changes. I am following you because you have the best blog title I have ever seen.
    Besides, we desperately need a Planetary Defense Command and I am very glad you are it.

  15. I found your blog through Charles Yallowitz’s blog. Love your tagline!
