Barbara: What's going on now!
Working on a novel set on the Moon, tentatively titled FARSIDE.
I have worked with ReAnimus Press to have some of my older works converted to ebooks.
You can see the initial releases, including THE STAR CONQUERORS, here
From the Moon to Mars, Venus, Jupiter and the Asteroid Belt, his novels show the adventure and excitement of our advance across the space frontier.
The author of more than 100 futuristic novels and nonfiction books, Dr. Ben Bova has been involved in science and high technology since the very beginnings of the space age. President Emeritus of the National Space Society and a past president of Science Fiction Writers of America, Dr. Bova received the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Arthur C. Clarke Foundation in 2005, “for fueling mankind’s imagination regarding the wonders of outer space.”Dr. Bova is a frequent commentator on radio and television and a widely-popular lecturer.
earlier, he was an award-winning editor and an executive in the aerospace industry.
"Ben Bova’s novel, TITAN, has won the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for the best science fiction novel of the year 2006."Fans keep asking about the MARS book plans.
As far as Mars goes I've already done three novels about the human exploration of Mars, in addition to novels set at Mercury, Venus, and several in the Asteroid Belt.
At the moment I don't have any plans for a novel set at Pluto or the very distant outer bodies and planets, mainly because I can't see why any human explorers would want to go there.
However if a good reason pops up, I'll probably "send" an expedition there, too.
