The Apologists by Tade Thompson Clarkesworld Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine and Podcast.

My novella, THE APOLOGISTS, is a finalist for the BSFA awards.

You can read and/or listen to at. @clarkesworldmagazine.com Link below.

On the one hand, yay!

On the other hand, I've been nominated for the BSFA many times. I never win. So, boo!

But you can still enjoy the story.

Awesome cover by Augusta Scarlett features a black woman in winter gear holding a futuristic rifle, pointed at the ground; she's looking down at a snowy landscape featuring mountains, distant spaceships, and an orbital elevator. The whole thing is in shades of blue, with purple in the title.

The newbie's going to have to learn fast and not die.

Talia struggles with trauma while embroiled in a perilous mission on an icy planet, and working to trust her new compatriots. Breathless adventure!

I introduced an amendment to extend the ACA tax credits for 3 years.

There's no time to waste.

We have to act now to save healthcare for the American people.
