Literary scholar, Karl Kroeber passed away this morning. He was 82. Best known for his work with Native American literature, he was also English and comparative literature at Columbia University. Our condolences go out to his sister, Ursula K. Le Guin, and to all his family and friends.
They are the last survivors of the settlers of the moon Sturnus, forty children rescued by the benevolent people of the planet Janus. Except Bear is starting to remember, and what he remembers is nothing like what he and the others have been told.
Harold R. Thompson’s first science fiction novel, Orphans of Sturnus, was released in 2024. He is also the author of many science fiction and fantasy short stories. He lives in Nova Scotia and, when not writing, works for Parks Canada.
