Joe the Robot (AKA FANTASTIC FILMS ROBOT) by Steve Johnson and Tullio Proni, General Technics (1977). Joe appears on the back cover of Fantastic Films, October 1978, where you could apparently "WIN A FREE (R2D2-Type Remote-Controlled) ROBOT worth $3000.

"That's Joe the Robot, built by Steve Johnson and Tullio Proni in 1977, with help from other GT members. When STAR WARS came out, Joe was repainted to resemble R2D2. The General Technics gang showed him off at movie theaters around Chicago; sometimes they got in for free. Joe was controlled by Touch-Tone signals sent over a CB radio channel. I think he was propelled by a pair of windshield-wiper motors." – W. Higgins (beamjockey)

"While in college in Chicago, I helped form General Technics, a technology-oriented science fiction group (or was that a science fiction-oriented technology group?), with friends Jeff Duntemann, Jim Fuerstenberg, Tullio Proni, and many other members of midwestern university science-fiction clubs. We originally coalesced around blinkies, robots, and the beginnings of personal computing, and have extended our grasp to high-altitude rocketry, high voltage, and raising kids. John Brunner, the author of "Stand on Zanzibar," the science fiction novel in which the General Technics corporation appears, graciously permitted us to use the name of his fictitious company. GT has flourished in the intervening years, combining with a similar group from Michigan Technological University, and attracting members from all over the world. GT remains loosely organized. If you consider yourself to be "in" GT, you are!" " – Steve Johnson, General Technics.

Following tangents I ended up at Jeff Duntemann’s blog and onto a post about ‘Infogalactic’, Vox Day’s vanity version of Wikipedia. Duntemann’s post was about a wider idea about interconnected mutually searchable wiki’s which was interesting[1] but a side issue caught my attention:

Cosmo Klein (1978) by Jeff Duntemann AKA "Captain Cosmo", Rochester, NY. Cosmo Klein is based on the COSMAC Elf RCA 1802 microcomputer and features a robot arm, and a CRT face separately controlled by a COSMAC VIP, an 1802 based microcomputer with a supplementary video display chip.

"For all its flaws, the VIP is probably worth the money… The worst thing about the VIP is something that can be said of the ELF-II from Netronics or Quest's Super ELF: If you don't wire wrap it yourself, you won't learn as much. What are you doing this for? If you want to learn microcomputer hardware and software without going broke, the Popular Electronics ELF has no equal. …

COSMO'S FACE -- I take that back; there is something that the VIP is good at: Giving my robot a face. For a while I've been tinkering with a clanking heap of surplus submarine parts and wheelchair motors named Cosmo Klein. The Klein is an obscure mathematical allusion to the Klein Bottle, whos insides are identical to its outsides. Cosmo is a little like that, especially when he tips over and sends his insides spilling out onto the floor. Well, I got the notion that a COSMAC-generated face would be a marvelously humanizing touch. And so it is. If you want to see a good color picture of Cosmo and my VIP (with my own idiotically grinning mug in the background) check out Look Magazine dated April 30, 1979; it's the one with Jane Fonda on the cover. Maybe your library has it. The program which generates the face is included in this book, so I won't describe it here. Though you can't see it, my ELF is also inside, vainly trying to keep the monster from falling on his face. A CMOS robot is an old dream of mine, and I'm working on it, but for now I must pronounce his control circuitry (save for his face) a failure. Now you know who Captain Cosmo is. Yes indeed, that cute cartoon on the cover has a real model." – Captain Cosmo's Whizbang, by Jeff Duntemann, 1980.

“In addition to the VIP on his chest (which managed his face video and nothing else) he had a wire-wrapped machine inside his body, and a built-in OAE paper tape reader for getting his software up and running. (I punched the tapes on a DEC PDP11 system at Loyola University, where a friend worked at that time. The code was all written in binary, by hand.)” – Jeff Duntemann, Meet Cosmo Klein, COSMAC ELF.

"Cosmo Klein, a 4' tall robot with a TV-screen face, is a mutt bred from "junque" and computer chips. Cosmo has a World War II navy sonar-console body which was bought at a rummage sale for 25 cents and houses a homemade computer that monitors internal functions, like voltage regulation, speed, motion, and Arm and hand action. Cosmo lives with Jeff and Carol Duntemann. Jeff is a Xerox engineer, science-fiction writer, and member of a group of "techies" who build futuristic gadgets. He has grander inspirations than Cosmo. "What I'm looking toward in maybe 40 years is a robot that will act as a companion to the emotionally disturbed and the severely retarded. The patience of machines is marvellous. They'll sit there and listen and talk back." " – A Robot for Every Home, by Lauren Freudmann, Look Magazine, April 30, 1979.

Jeff Duntemann's Dreamhealer

Jeff Duntemann’s Dreamhealer

  Jeff is a wonderful, thoughtful writer who brings a strong sense of philosophy to his work. Dreamhealer is no different – it’s the tale of a man who can enter other’s dreams, and fight their nightmares for them. Unfortunately, when the being who sends the nightmares realizes who and what he is…

Science Fiction and Fantasy New Releases: 29 August, 2020

Time-lost super-soldiers, living detective saints, swordless swordsmen, and His Majesty’s Naval Service takes to the stars in this week’s new releases.

Coven (Saint Tommy, NYPD #7) – Declan Finn

Detective Thomas Nolan has finally returned home. In typical police fashion, he is welcomed home with a murder case and gunfire.

After one arrest goes spectacularly wrong, Tommy is assigned another case and another dead body.

But everything goes wrong from the start of the case. The deceased is a member of a nearby military base, and no one wants to answer his questions. A local bodega gives him mind-splitting headaches. Worst of all, someone is after his children.

To make matters worse — Tommy no longer has his charisms.

Dreamhealer – Jeff Duntemann

By day, Larry Kettelkamp keeps ancient PDP-8 computers alive in a collapsing industrial bakery. By night he wages war on nightmares, and has been waging that war for thirty years. As a young man, Larry discovered that he could enter other peoples’ nightmares, end them, and then vaccinate the dreamers against that nightmare with an ancient symbol that alters the relationship between the two hemispheres of the brain.

For nightmares are not random concoctions of our dreaming imaginations. Strange creatures called archons living in the subtle realms of the collective unconscious craft horrifying dreams to drop into sleeping minds, and then feast on the terror those dreams evoke. This scheme goes back 15,000 years, to the dawn of human history. It was created by a sort of super-archon who claims to be the Demiurge of ancient Persian myth.

Once Larry learns how to destroy archons instead of merely banishing them from dreams, this architect of all nightmares hunts Larry down and demands that Larry stop destroying the monster’s archon servants. Thus begins an escalating conflict that draws in a bored title-search agent, a witch and a lightworker, two teenage prodigies, a modern-day cult practicing ancient Persian death magick, dream mechas a quarter-mile high, and a very very large number of dogs.

Katanagatari #4: Sword Tale – Nisio Isin

From the pen of the author of the legendary MONOGATARI novels comes another unique offering, available in English for the first time! The basis of an animated series, KATANAGATARI brings to life a swordless “swordsman” and a self-described “schemer” who embark on a quest to obtain twelve peculiar masterpiece blades. Unveiling the truth about the legendary katanas and their creator as part of a gorgeous tapestry of fates that vie to upend history itself, this hardcover edition, featuring a gatefold color insert, beautiful interior art, and copious bilingual footnotes, is the last of a quartet collecting a best-selling series from the former homeland of samurais and ninjas. Brimming with action, romance, and unexpected wisdom, often as tongue-in-cheek as The Princess Bride, and shot through with ninjas, samurais, and secret moves, Sword Tale is Musashi for a new generation and a gift for any fan of adventure.

The Lion and the Unicorn (Ark Royal #15) – Christopher Nuttall

The war isn’t going well.

In five years of heavy fighting, humanity and its alien allies have steadily been pushed back towards Earth, towards the very heart of humanity itself. The virus is steadily wearing the defences down, mounting campaign after campaign to infect and enslave every other alien race. The only hope rests with newer and better weapons, with technology that may turn the tide, but can the weapons and starships be deployed in time?

HMS Lion and HMS Unicorn are two new ships, designed to take the war to the enemy and tip the balance of power in humanity’s favour. But with untested technology, clashes between their commanding officers and trouble below decks, they may find themselves facing more than they can handle …

… And the odds of coming home are very low.

Mist Dragon (The Dragon Misfits #5) – D. K. Holmberg

The dragon misfits are the key to saving the dragons of Lorach but they must act before a stranger destroys them.

Jason has secured a tentative peace for Dragon Haven. With his control over illusion, and the Lorach threat thwarted for now, his time is spent preparing for the next attack, knowing the Dragon Souls will not be easily stopped.

An old ally to Dragon Haven returns, but Jason questions his motives—along with his techniques. Now Jason must choose whether to stop the Dragon Souls or save them.

Stopping Lorach for good might mean destroying the captured dragons. It’s a choice Jason fears to make, but doing otherwise means betraying those who have come to rely upon him.

The Soldier: The X-Ship – Vaughn Heppner

After endless years of fighting in a galaxy-wide war, the most decorated super-soldier of the Old Federation was granted leave, sliding into a stasis tube aboard a sleeper ship. The ship never reached its port, while the soldier woke up a thousand years later on an operating table.

The Old Federation was gone, most planets hurled back into the Stone Age. A devastated Earth used spies instead of spaceships to compete against the tougher richer worlds.

The Director of Earth had doctors suppress the super-soldier’s memories, giving him an undercover identity and mission: grab advanced technology from a prohibited planet before anyone else could and bring it back to Earth.

The soldier turned spy felt desperately lost, alone and out of place. There were no familiar faces. But an intense sense of duty drove him headlong into danger. And yet…and yet…there was something more, something missing that he increasingly wanted to know.

So began The Soldier’s odyssey in a future time that would change the destiny of the universe.

The Stars Asunder (The Aryshan War #2) – Jon del Arroz

A deep conspiracy upends a civilization…

…which could cost the lives of billions.

The war rages on between Earth and Arysha, even after the death of a prominent Aryshan leader.

Sean Barrows is sent into Aryshan space a second time to gain details on their fleet movements and objectives, but he has a greater goal in mind: find the love of his life. But a major threat looms for everyone: a new fleet of Aryshan ships which can go unseen and launch deadly stealth attacks. Can two civilizations survive?

Zero.Hero – J. D. Astra

The greatest Heroes have already fallen…

Now it’s up to Claire and her ragtag crew of Zeroes to save the city.

Low-ranked contractors Claire, Elise, Norah, and Piper dream of making it to the top twenty with the Stewards of Light, but their weird RPG powers have them trapped near the bottom instead. Balancing college, part-time jobs, and family matters leaves the girls without much time to fight crime and grind out the experience they need to climb the ranks.

When a new threat emerges, the gamer girls are left standing in a city turned upside down with no hero to save them. The underclassmen are outclassed, but they’re also the only ones who can stop the spread of chaos. Claire and her friends will have to unravel the mess with clever teamwork and determination, and find the top-rank heroes in themselves to save the city before it falls into darkness.

Wretched Son – Jon Mollison

The hum of rubber tires on hot and dangerous roads.

The white dotted line between life and death.

A young boy’s fight to chart a route to manhood.

Take a ride through a different sort of apocalypse. A world on the verge of forging a better tomorrow, or repeating all the same old mistakes.

And the fate of the world to come rests on the shoulders of a young boy as uncertain of his future as the world in which he fights to survive.

Three Big Questions

Author, editor, and publisher Jeff Duntemann poses the three questions that authors of speculative fiction must ask when designing magic systems.

There are three Big Questions you need to ask yourself as you take on a task of designing a magical system:

What is the source of magical power? Where does it come from and how do you obtain it? In Larry Niven’s Warlock stories, magic is an inherent…

[swipestream]

Cold Hands and Other Stories

Jeff Duntemann’s collection, “Cold Hands and Other Stories” shouldn’t work.

The works included span more than four decades of writing.  His largely Campbellian style gives way to urban magic and deep looks at the role of religion in space exploration. This collection lacks a consistent voice or theme.  And yet it works wonderfully!

This collection of short stories hangs together thanks to the foundation of Duntemann’s solid writing and his clear insights into the human – and not so human – condition.  Duntemann writes cold science stories that have a lot more warmth to them, and technology stories that really look at the human effects in line with the best of the Campebellian stories of the 1950s.

The opening story, Cold Hands, tells the tale of a space freighter pilot who learns that the replacement arms given him by his employers come with a few more strings attached than he expected. Given the recent revelations about tech companies surprising users with their own hidden strings, this story feels like one ripped from the headlines. It was written in 1980. Aside from the normal concern of corporations offering “too good to be true” improvements in quality of life, this story features technology extrapolations that don’t feel dated in the slightest. It also delves into the body horror genre as the pilot struggles to find a way to escape his new prison while keeping his true intentions hidden from his own hands.

It gets better from there.

From there, we turn to “Our Lady of the Endless Sky”, a story of the first extra-terrestrial church and the priest charged with building and maintaining a house of worship as a part of the first lunar colony. With only brief discursion into the balancing act the modern Catholic Church walks between proselytization and ecumenism, it focuses instead on the balancing act conducted by a priest between serving his congregation’s spiritual needs versus serving its physical needs. In sharp contrast to the bleak and grim science-fiction of its day, this story features not just a happy ending, but a reminder that where ever you go, God is there waiting for you. Many commentators would have you believe that the Church is a vestigial organ best left behind as man heads out into the stars, but Duntemann reminds the reader that religion is as old as mankind himself, and leaving religion behind would mean leaving a part of mankind behind – and an important one at that.

“Born Again, With Water”, again presents the story of a house of worship, but this one set much farther away from earth than our own moon. It also tells the story from the perspective of an orphan alien adopted by the priest and nuns of the order that started a small mission on the far-flung desert world of the narrator. To make things even more interesting, the narrator is a young alien who struggles to learn his place in his rapidly changing world. Thanks to the loving, but naïve, aid of one of the nuns of the mission, he finds his own path through the change. The mistakes he and the young nun make lead to a path that is truly horrifying.

Speaking of horror, “Whale Meat” might have been just another urban magic story with a nice Lovecraftian frosting smeared over the top, but again Duntemann crafts a narrator with a unique voice. Yonnie, a witch, struggles to keep his pregnant wife safe in the modern world from monsters both human and alien. Ancient and weary, he views the world through eyes that are both wise and inexperienced at the same time; imagine an old man for whom the changes in the world rushed along at a pace too fast to keep up with, but this old man has watched centuries flow by. He understands deep truths about mankind, but struggles to understand why printed money should take the place of gold coinage. Just as the reader begins to get his bearings in the story and understand the terminology used so naturally by Yonnie, Duntemann adds the witch-man’s first encounter with Calculus (yes, the mathematic subject) into the story in a way both alien and approachable, lathers on shadow-monsters and psychopathic witch-killers and a unified magic system ready for the tabletop RPG system and ties it all together with an epic fight for the fate of humanity in a dingy late-night café. It’s too much all at once, and yet Duntemann’s pacing and knack for ramping up both the situation and the jargon make it work. This turns out to be yet another one of those cases of modern Lovecraft done so much more effectively than just tentacles and nihilism.

If weird magic isn’t to your taste, Duntemann presents a roller coaster ride in “Inevitably Sphere”. A story with no real enemy save time and the march of progress, this one features an old fighter pilot enjoying one last spate of usefulness as a rocket jock tasked with chasing down the wobbly end of a wormhole. The earth-side of the tunnel through space has been anchored above the Mojave Desert, but the alien side of the tunnel wiggles about, nudged hither and yon by slight perturbations in everything from Earth’s orbit to passing solar winds to slight gravitational tugs out in the vastness of space. The pilot knows this too shall pass as the poindexter crowd continually smooths out the wrinkles and nails down the alien end of the tunnel. For now, he enjoys his work, and the reader can enjoy riding shotgun on his made chase through the sky, and as he realizes exactly how his job will come to an end.

The collection also includes introductions to Duntemann’s extended universe, “The Gaian Saga” and an excerpt from his full length novel, “The Cunning Blood”. The five stories I’ve delved into here are alone worth the price of admission. So much so, that I forbore reading the excerpt of “The Cunning Blood” simply because I’m already sold on the book. Rather than read a bit now, I’ll be reading the whole thing in one go.

In the final analysis, I have to give this collection my highest recommendation. It’s a nice glimpse into the direction science-fiction could have gone if the dreary earthbound and hidebound elements hadn’t grabbed control of the genre. These stories convey a warmth and generosity of spirit, and an enthusiastic embrace of technology as a means to improve upon the best of mankind. Duntemann is an author whose science-fiction looks to the stars with excitement and wonder rather than looking upon mankind as broken and irredeemable and in desperate need of repair by important minds…minds like those possessed by science fiction authors. It’s a refreshing change from the miserable fiction that has been in vogue for so long, and if you’re looking for modern sci-fi and fantasy that doesn’t leave you feeling like you need to take a shower, you’ll find it right here in “Cold Hands and Other Stories”.

Science Fiction New Releases: 01 June 2019

This week’s roundup of science fiction’s newest releases features mecha-equipped partisans, alien trade missions, ancient superweapons, and the rise of Galactic Christendom.

Black and White (The Four Horsemen: Frontiers #1) – Mark Wandrey

Terry Clark grew up surrounded by his parent’s life’s work, the rescue and rehabilitation of cetaceans. Born just after first contact with the Galactic Union, he’s never known a time when aliens weren’t visiting Earth. At 10 years old, he had a normal life, until a visit from one of the aliens resulted in a ground-breaking discovery. The cetaceans have a developed and complex language…and it can be deciphered by the aliens’ translators.

When Terry’s father begins using alien implant technology to test the boundaries of the cetaceans’ language and society, though, he goes too far, and the fledgling world government becomes involved. Without warning, the scientists are labeled as criminals, and the cetaceans are scheduled for termination. In order to save the cetaceans, the researchers have to flee off-world with them.

In the Lupasha star system, Terry tries to begin a new life. While the world is ideal for the cetaceans, it’s difficult for their Human wardens. Even worse, the planet’s previous owners now want it back. As they don’t mind killing all the Humans in the process, Terry is trapped in a life or death struggle, which leads to a discovery that could change the course of humanity’s role in the galaxy.

Combat Frame Xseed: Coalition Year 40 – Brian Niemeier

They made him necessary. He’ll make them pay.

Earth groans under the yoke of the Systems Overterrestrial Coalition. Socs enjoy privileged status while grounders languish as second-class citizens.

Student Thomas Arthur Dormio leads the Brussels Service Academy’s history club, a front for a dissident grounder cell. The Human Liberation Organization conducts a campaign of blackmail, sabotage, and terrorism to free Earth from the Socs.

En route to make contact with the HLO, Second Lieutenant Theodore Red arrives in orbit over Western Europe. But before he starts the next phase of the resistance on Earth, Red has a man to kill.

The Enchantress of Venus (The Illustrated Stark #2) – Leigh Brackett

Dark Secrets of an Inhuman Race Lie Hidden Beneath the Seas of Venus!

Eric John Stark travels the shores of Venus’ gaseous red seas seeking the whereabouts of a missing comrade. Pursuing this mystery puts him in the hands of the Lhari, a cruel and power-hungry family that rules over the pirate enclave of Shuruun!

Beneath the waves, the Lhari’s doomed slaves live and toil among ancient ruins, seeking out the lost super-weapon of the precursors. And Stark must join them or die!

If Varra, a vain and petty Lhari princess, can control both Stark and this lost weapon, all of Venus may be within her grasp!

Firejammer – Jeff Duntemann

Having dropped an alien-contact anthropologist on a newly discovered inhabited planet to establish a relationship with the aliens, starship *Richard M. Nixon* and its crew returns two years later on a trade mission. The corporations of the Tripartisan Economic Combine are eager to buy the aliens’ epoxy glue, which is among the best ever seen in known space.

Vincent Icehall, the starship’s young shuttle pilot, has little to do during the mission but hang out with what he assumes is the alien community’s jester and village idiot. Icehall can’t pronounce the alien’s name and dubs him “Turkey,” but slowly begins to realize that Turkey is anything but. Ignoring all of Turkey’s warnings for the crew to leave the planet immediately, Icehall stumbles on a plot by the anthropologist and the aliens’ chieftain to steal the Nixon’s shuttle for use as a weapon of war.

The Last Tyrant (The Last War #6) – Peter Bostrom

Change is coming.

Legendary American Admiral Jack Mattis, thrown into an unfamiliar universe, must now confront the impossible and do the unthinkable in a place very different from his home. New alliances must be forged in the face of powerful new enemies. Strange technologies may hold the key to victory, or hasten Earth’s demise in all timelines. Change is coming and the howling winds of war at his back will drive Admiral Mattis onward toward a final confrontation.

One thing is clear: The future is mutable, changeable, malleable. Or is it? Are Mattis’s and Earth’s destinies set in stone? Dark secrets will be revealed, terrifying enemies unleashed, and through it all, the true face of Spectre looms ever closer.

Sons of the Lion (Four Horsemen Universe: The Omega War #11) – Jason Cordova

When you take the Emperor’s gold, you become the Emperor’s man.

For Colonel Mulbah Luo and the Kakata Korps, their initial contracts with the Mercenary Guild had them defending Earth. Honest work, they were led to believe, keeping the citizens of Earth safe from alien pacification in their own way. As the occupation continues, however, their eyes are opened to the fact that the hand gripping their throat is slowly tightening.

After an outside attempt to throw western Africa into unending civil war, the Kakata Korps must choose sides. Will they honor their oaths and fight their own people at the cost of their very souls? Or will the call of freedom—freedom from the Merc Guild—sway even the most hardened of souls?

The war for Earth rages on. The souls of a people hangs in the balance.

Wholesale Slaughter – Rick Partlow

A king can’t defeat an army of lawless pirates. But a mercenary can.

Logan Conner is the son of a king, the heir to the largest of the five star-dominions, and the best mech pilot in the galaxy. His people are plagued by pirates and raiders, surrounded by enemies, and not even his father can fight them all.

Logan gives up his position, his rank, even his name, and becomes Jonathan Slaughter, leader of a rough-and-ready band of mercenary mech-jocks, bent on taking the battle to the enemy on their own terms.

They’re Wholesale Slaughter. Kicking ass is what they do.

Reavers of the Void (Star Knight Saga #1) – Bradford C. Walker

In the Year of Our Lord 3001, the space pirate Red Eyes brings his pirate fleet to bear against Galactic Christendom. He aims to steal one of its greatest treasures, Countess Gabriela Robin, to fulfill his warlord ambitions. Dispatched against him is one of the Star Knights of the Solar Guard, Lord Roland, with the mission to protect the Countess at all costs. With his man Sibley and his page Creton at his side, Lord Roland faces off against the would-be warlord in the Dire March of the galaxy and begin a conflict that all the galaxy cannot ignore.
