I had the good fortune to meet Bob a few years ago in New York. What a wise and interesting person!

Years ago, I invited Robert Buettner to my bookstore, but all of his books sold out before he got there! He was a great sport about it, though, and handed out Orphanage swag. I asked him recently about his latest book, Orphan’s Triumph, and he had all kinds of fascinating things to say about being compared to Heinlein, getting published overseas and the root of modern science fiction. He also told me that Overkill, the first novel in the Orphan’s Legacy series, will be released in early 2011. (If you’re curious, you can read the interview for free at SciFiBookshelf.com )

There are some really interesting views there, and shockingly (for a huge fan of the military/sci-fi ilk) I didn’t know about the books yet. They’ll now sit on my every growing list (thanks, Jen!)

I especially enjoyed reading your tips. I’m writing now, so I’m in the stage of gathering all information I can get. Baby steps!

Reading this, I suddenly recognized the fact that I’ve read far to few books featuring dinosaurs

Wow, Robert. I have no time to read anything for pleasure anymore, besides my own clients’ novels of course (go Jen!), but I am going to make an exception in your case and buy your trilogy. I love science fiction and have read all the greats enough times to dogear the covers. And I’m talking hard covers! ‘Nuff said. Thanks for the great words and glad you’re out there. (I totally agree with you about dystopian apocalyptic worlds a la Cormac McCarthy!)

Dinosaurs, swords, dragons…these are a few of my favorite things! Now I’m definitely going to start reading this series.

Rinda -

To elaborate, I did graduate work in Paleo, which led me to work my way through law school as a Petroleum Geologist. There Was Not Blood. Or oil, for that matter.

The first two books didn’t draw much on that background, but in the most recent, Orphan’s Journey, I got to play with dinosaurs. Book 3 actually crosses over toward sword and dragon fantasy in places. In Book 4, Orphan’s Alliance, there is this really cool – well, you’ll have to wait ’til November.
