Comments on: Get Scott Sigler’s The MVP for $3 off http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2012/02/04/get-scott-siglers-the-mvp-for-3-off/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

I'm very upset i missed him during his trip down under. I really suggest at the very least you pop over to his site and check out his FREE, slickly produced and performed podcast of just about every thing he has ever written. A real treasure trove. I do remember a YT video i saw of our BA giving a presentation on impact events (i think) The camera panned over and low and behold there was Sigler studiously taking notes, you could tell he was lapping it up. I thought to myself "ahh siggy thats how you're so damn good at what you do!" Sigler is a class act all the way, so gracious and giving to his fans.

You could be the brainy scientist who is gruesomely murdered by a psychotic alien, or gruesomely eaten by a genetic experiment gone awry, or even gruesomely rendered into protoplasm by some bizarre pathogen. Talk to him about it. It could be fun!

I'm going to have to get around to reading them someday ... I don't read books on carbon based data retrieval units anymore. Not only can't I increase the size of the font to compensate for my steadily worsening eyesight, whenever I buy a new book in physical format and put it somewhere 'safe', it's actually safe from ever being found again.

Yes, we have the mandatory scifi contrivance of FTL travel, but I think people will enjoy the series. It's classic coming-of-age, quest scifi with a ton of world-building, it just happens to have a football league as a backdrop. Thanks, Phil!
