SF - What's In A Name?

descriptionTo mark the publication of Into The No Zone , the second book in my The Sign Of One trilogy, Egmont asked me to do a blog. I chose to write about Science Fiction, where the genre name came from, and why it might not be best genre name ever.

A quick read, just for fun. A bit silly really, with schoolboys flying Sopwith Camels on the western front, but a lovely modern paperback edition and no harm done.
