Please join us for our next chat in #readers_corner at 8:30 P.M. (EDST) on September 3rd, 2016 [00:30 A.M. (GMT), September 4th], for a discussion of the story Adrift by Terry Burlison. During our last chat, 'cordnblu' indicated that he preferred the more classic short stories (those with a plot) and mentioned a few of my favorite authors (Asimov, Clark, etc.) as writers he enjoyed.  I located such a story, albeit one recently written, and think it will make for an interesting discussion.


 


Adrift is a traditional style Science Fiction story, one that depends on use of a sound scientific principle to resolve the conflict or solve the problem.  The resolution depends on human ingenuity to apply that principle and limited tools at hand in an effective manner.  I enjoyed the story and I am fairly certain that both cordnblu and Star will love it.


 


The story is available on line at the Baen Books web site:  http://www.baen.com/readonline/index/read/sku/9781625794987  Baen publishes an annual anthology of short stories available free on line.  This story is included in the 2016 anthology. 


 


The link will take you to a cover of the 2016 collection of free stories.  Click the 'next' link at the top right of the web page to get to the table of contents then click the story title "Adrift".  Alternately, from the cover page, click story "1" box in the matrix on the left hand margin.  Oh, the story can be read on line or downloaded into the e-reader format of your choice.
