If you don’t know the name David Gerrold, you at least know some of his work. He is the science fiction screenwriter and novelist that is responsible for the classic Star Trek episode, The Trouble With Tribbles, he created the Sleestak race on Land of the Lost and wrote the novelette The Martian Child that became the recent John Cuzak movie. David is turning to the internet for help. His son Sean needs to have surgery for a double-hernia that if it goes into strangulation mode would most likely leave him paralyzed. The family can’t wait until the next insurance year for the surgery and the specialist is going to cost $10,000.00. For most freelancers, securing a loan is next to impossible. So David is going to try and come up with a fundraiser. He’s even looking to sell their Honda EP3 for $7,000.00 to get them close.
Here is David’s post about the situation from his facebook page:
I do not often ask other people for help. Maybe it’s the way I was raised, maybe it’s an issue of pride. Maybe because I like to be seen as the guy who can handle everything.
Whatever.
Here’s the thing. My son needs emergency surgery for a double hernia that is this close to paralyzing him. We can’t wait for next year’s insurance to kick in, and we’re not even sure yet what kind of coverage we can get for him. (Please spare me any rants you might want to post about health care in this country, unless you want to be defriended.)
Anyway, I’ve got to raise nearly $10,000 for the specialist. I’m too proud to borrow it (and I don’t know anyone who has that kind of spare cash available anyway), but I’m thinking of a go-fund-me project to raise the cash. Here’s the incentive. If we make the target, I could make the first third of A METHOD FOR MADNESS available.
What do folks think? Don’t tell me you think it’s a good idea unless you’re prepared to donate.
If you can help and would be willing to donate for the release of the first third of A Method For Madness or want to try and help in any other way, visit David’s facebook page for more information.

mi interessa davvero molto, ma non voglio farmi il fegato amaro leggendo qualcosa di incompiuto.
E di un autore che, a conti fatti, mi pare perculare il proprio pubblico.
Next.
Ma... c'è o ci fa???

la cosa che fa più incazzare è che in altre sedi dà la responsabilità del ritardo ai problemi derivanti dalla nascita del figlio disabile.
poco importa del dal '92 ad oggi abbia pubblicato altri UNDICI libri
Ma vada a cagare.

l'ho letto tanti anni fa, il primo mi era piaciuto da matti, gli altri un po' meno. Io ero arrivato, se ricordo bene, che il protagonista era diventato un super esperto e i vermoni si stavano organizzando in città, inoltre ricordo di una specie di arena o di esperimenti con il pubblico pagante. Non capisco tutta questa fretta per leggere il nuovo libro
Forse perché sono passati un fottio di anni (e di prese per il culo) dall'ultimo libro?l'ho letto tanti anni fa, il primo mi era piaciuto da matti, gli altri un po' meno.

Ma dai io l'ho trovato divertentissimo ed abbastanza originale, certo ci sono delle parti un po' lente ma la storia ed i personaggi funzionano. (mi riferisco alla sola Invasione non ho letto il ciclo successivo).
non è propriamente un update, ma è stupefacente vedere quanto un autore può cadere in basso: https://www.facebook.com/david.gerro...00412033675765
povero
lo so che questo topic è un po' un accanimento terapeutico, ma il prode gerrold ha pubblicato una nuova deadline da disattendere: il manoscritto dovrebbe essere ultimato e consegnato all'editore entro settembre di quest'anno:
chiaramente, avendo gerrold 71 anni e mancando altri due libri al termine dell'opera, sono rassegnato a perire nell'incompiutezza di quello che avrebbe potuto essere un originale e splendido connubio di fine fantascienza, ecologia e filosofia politica.David Gerrold Says The Next Chtorr Book Will Be Finished In September
Forget The Winds of Winter! There’s one book that fans have been awaiting fervently, for years, now—and it’s finally coming. David Gerrold tells io9 that A Method For Madness, the fifth book in his Chtorr series, will be done in a couple of months.
The Chtorr series, which tells of an invasion of Earth by an alien ecosystem that transforms the planet, has been on hold since 1993, when the fourth book, A Season for Slaughter, was published. (The first three books, A Matter for Men, A Day For Damnation, and A Rage for Revenge, came out in fairly quick order in the 1980s.) But now, it’s been over 20 years since Gerrold left us with a huge cliffhanger.
Fans started to get their hopes up when they saw A Method for Madness listed as coming out in September, according to Barnes and Noble and a few other sites. So we checked with Gerrold and he said that the book won’t be published in September, but “it will be finished by then.” Is this the final book in the Chtorr series? Nope, says Gerrold—“there are seven books in this trilogy.”
So what finally allowed Gerrold to get this book done, after 22 years of being stuck? Check out this video from a convention last month, where he explains that he’s had 250,000 words of this book finished for a long, long time. But there were just a handful of scenes (between seven and 10) that he couldn’t crack. “I didn’t even know what order they had to occur in, I had a vague idea.” He finally decided to do what Harry Harrison called “shitting bricks,” where you put words down as fast as you can—and then something clicked. Large chunks of the book are written in “first-person psychotic,” but he didn’t want to write those scenes that way. And then he figured out a way to write those scenes clearly and cleanly. And then all of the motivations, and the chain of events fell into place.
So now you can start asking when the sixth and seventh books in the series are coming out!
ma almeno scoprirò come cazzo hanno fatto ad uscire dall'amazzonia
sarà vero?
