• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

The German academic publisher Springer has quite a large catalogue of science fiction books with a heavy science basis, written by scientists. I have always been heavily critical of their pricing, because they charge academic prices - about $22/£15 for a science fiction paperback. But they've a special offer on which gives you a remarkable 6 ebooks for $1 (about 76p) - and you can even choose to give most of it to charity.

Two things. Worth a look if you like this kind of book and read ebooks. And interested in your thoughts on this decidedly odd business model:
