Latest articles in Strategy and Tactics. This time about Bleeding Kansas, particularly please how the part about the historical inaccuracies in the film “Santa Fe Trail” turned out. All thanks to Mary K R Baker, my long suffering wife who watched “Santa Fe Trail” with me and Kyle Lockwood the long suffering editor.

My story “Replacement Charles”:

 

Introduction: Sirius Science Fiction commences with this time travel tale told in a classic, snappy entertaining style that we feel exemplifies the kind of spec fic we are seeking. There have been many, many time travel stories written since H.G. Wells’ “The Time Machine” in 1895, and we feel this holds its own  against the classics. It rose to the top of our initial slush pile, and we are proud to use it as the lead-off story as we launch what we anticipate will become a leading original science fiction web zine.

Sink the Belgrano in Military History Magazine March 2019

Late on the afternoon of May 2, 1982, the British nuclear-powered fleet submarine HMS Conqueror was running submerged in the South Atlantic Ocean some 230 miles almost due east of Cape Horn. Though designed and built to engage Soviet warships should the Cold War turn hot, that day the sub was stalking prey of a decidedly different kind—a 44-year-old American-built light cruiser that had survived the Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Commissioned into the U.S. Navy in 1938 as Phoenix, the warship had been struck and sold in 1951, renamed ARA General Belgrano and was the pride of the Argentine navy. Unfortunately for Belgrano and its crew, the cruiser would not survive the coming encounter with Conqueror.
