Overlord’s Lair: It’s 2007 - Strap in and hang on! Ray Gun Revival went live in July of 2006. Six months and twelve biweekly issues have passed and Ray Gun Revival continues to grow and thrive. The Overlords Lee (Loriendil) King, Paul Christian (Fireflyfellow) Glenn, and myself thank each of you for visiting Ray Gun Revival, downloading the e-zine, and taking part in the fun on the forums. Despite being a paying market, RGR will continue to be available as a free download for this coming year (donations cheerfully welcome to support our authors). We provide this out of our own pockets because we, like you, believe in space opera and golden age sci-fi / adventure fiction. As Overlords, we are committed to the resurgence of quality space opera authors and stories. This issue features a story by Shaun Farrell entitled Conversion. It is a ripping good story, a cautionary tale, and starts Issue 13 off with a bang: When nanotechnology changes humanity and eliminates free will, a small group of people on a distant colony world fight to escape the pervasive NET. Our second story, M. Deidre, by Richard S. Levine, is more of a flash sci-fi piece than we normally accept, but the slushmasters and editors liked it so well that we couldn’t resist picking it up to share with you: We all know how deadly hurricanes can be. What would you do if you knew you could turn one away? We were looking for something special to grace the Pg. 3 cover of the first issue of 2007, and Bassem Hassan’s “EMAN” is not only a great piece, it is also the result of a collaboration and was created in honor of a special person. Click on over to the Featured Artist interview for the most touching story we’ve featured yet! And that brings us to The Price of Conquest, by Mik Wilkens. This is the longest work we’ve ever published at RGR, however, this is one of those works that starts fast and never lets up. Smart, challenging, and gripping, this story features a plucky heroine and a ship with something of an attitude: Freedom is all Kressa Bryant has ever wanted. When she’s given her own starship, it seems the answer to all her dreams. But the ship has a mind of its own and comes with a price she may not be able to pay. Due to the size of Issue 13, look for Paul Christian Glenn’s popular JASPER SQUAD serial in Issue 14, so stay tuned for that. Wrapping things up is Overlord Loriendil’s stunning Deuces Wild installment, the first of a multi-part min-arc, “In the Lap of the Gods,” in which one of the intrepid adventurers is kidnapped and the other comes to grips with his feelings ont he matter (or would, if he had any). Stay with us as we venture into this new year - we have a lot planned for the year and with your continued encouragement and readership, will be shooting ever higher. Strap in and hang on!
