Well duh on me! A bit slow on the uptake from time to time. Should have been obvious.
That Hideous Strength could have been written yesterday.
Shoot, it could have been written tomorrow! Or "could be going to have been written tomorrow." The Latin quotation on my FR home page (click the name below) is from the book.
My other favorite Christain sci-fi/speculative fiction guy is Gene Wolfe:
I seem to recall reading some of Mr Wolfe's work some years ago, but cannot now recall much of anything about it--this says more for my advancing age than it does about the quality of his writing.
Plus, he’s a Korean War vet and helped invent the machine that makes pringles.
May his name be honored above that of, well, some other guys!
You’re in Tennessee?
Do yourself a favour, check out Gene Wolfe again. I would say the most obviously Christian oriented series is the “book of the long sun”, which describes the adventures of a far, far future priest in a huge generational star ship. It’s just fantastic.
If I recall, Gene Wolfe edited a manufacturing plant trade magazine for years. I think that’s where his complete pringle mastery comes from.
