Son of Silvercon and the Foundations of Sci-Fi

Or the Foundations as seen by Wombat-socho. Honoring the Ancestors - by Kevin Trainor - Wombat Rampant

Usually Kevin is writing at The Other McCain, but that isn't the only place he is active.

Since the convention is just two days away, I figure I better get this done now, because I promised I would. Our second set of Ancestors is smaller than the first and a bit more narrowly focused, being mostly authors who were major contributors to combat/military SF.

This is the second post Kevin has on the origins of Sci-Fi as it pertains to Son of Silvercon, and as Wombat-socho sees thing.

The convention is Son of Silvercon, and it starts Friday and runs through the weekend in Las Vegas.
