Cover to Cover #251: Todd McCaffrey

Have you ever gone searching for a book, and discovered that there were very few copies available, and all of those copies cost anywhere from $80 to $200? That's what Summer's been doing the past few weeks. She's also still searching for an out-of-print book for herself, a decent copy of "Tomorrow's Children", an anthology edited by Isaac Asimov... another book that's been out of print for more than 30 years, and all of the used copies start at over $150...

Interview: Michael, Summer and Michael talk Todd McCaffrey about many things, including following in the footsteps of his mom, who just happens to be a Grand Master of the genre, and how to play and how not to play in the universe she created, and the pressures that come with the expectations of the name "McCaffrey". He tells us about meeting genre greats as a youngster, and how he was pulled into writing in the world of Pern, and possible future collaborations in other worlds Anne has created over the years.

The Library: Newer entries to the Library this week include Command Decision by Elizabeth Moon, Games of Command by Linnea Sinclair, All Together Dead by Charlaine Harris, The Man Who Melted by Jack Dann.
