Alright guys & gals: although I put an end to SFSS, I had to. Dude's a genius

A young radio engineer travels across an alt-history America, encountering primeval gods, mythical beasts, and tall tales come to life, in a quest to build a radio transmitter that can reach the stars.

A unique take on American magical realism, combining hard SF and ancient mythology. It starts out as a boys' adventure tale, and blows up into a bigger and weirder world than you ever imagined.

YANKEE REPUBLIC is an old-school adventure series with traditional values and down-to-earth heroes. Escape from the pessimism and propaganda of modern fiction, and take a journey through a mythic America that might have been.

"escape from the pessimism and propaganda of modern fiction" is hilarious. I am tempted to read this, just to see what the heck. I do not mind different perspectives in books at all, but it sure seems like he protests too much and it's likely propaganda itself.

Every time I hear “traditional values” nowadays, I think of alt-right. Is it an overly right wing author?

[–] musorufus@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

No, open-minded conservative, not alt-right.
