Ken Brown

3 Quotations from Ken Brown

planet dweller n. 1990 K. Brown Nuts & Bolts in Interzone (#35) May 62/2 (review of Gregory Benford’s Tides of Light) Any planet-dwellers worth saving would have got off their backsides and got themselves a decent job out in space somewhere.
skiffy n. 1996 K. Brown Far Futures, Bright Reefs in Interzone (#103) Jan. 57/3 (review of Gregory Benford’s Far Futures) It is nothing more than a parody of The Foundation Trilogy—possibly mixed with references to the Lensman stories, some recent stuff by Walter Jon Williams, and half a dozen other pieces of skiffy you vaguely remember reading.
star cruiser n. 1989 K. Brown in Interzone (#29) May–June 66/1 (Review of Carolyn See’s Golden Days) I don’t get this feeling from most of the American sf and fantasy I read—after all a collapsium-plated star -cruiser is a collapsium-plated star-cruiser in Poughkeepsie or in Peckham. Sf is, like rock music, a common frame of reference between the USA and the UK.
