PEP is here!
This is a ‘beta’/proof version – the authors have yet to give feedback (and there’s one article where I had to cut a handful of words and the author may change that before the final print version), but it’s finally done. Click the image to read it.

Hooray!
Awesome
Excellent stuff Andrew — can’t wait to give this a read tonight!
I absolutely love the Dr Who piece, which is interesting considering I am not a dyed in the wool fan.
About a third of the way through I realised that it’s almost a story masquerading as criticism, and an extremely epic and awesome story at that. Perhaps THE Dr Who story.
Absolutely brill.

If you don’t know, Richard is the daddy of Millennium Elephant, the stuffed-toy blogger I occasionally link to, and he’s a great writer.
The Book Of The War, which he talks about in there, is precisely your sort of thing I think. It’s very much the same story as The Invisibles, told through a Doctor Who lens rather than a Prisoner/Avengers lens, and is the best prose SF/fantasy I’ve come across in years…
I’m reading sci-fi novels again at the moment after having spent years away so that’s good. I’ll almost certainly check it out
