Remembering the Most Inexcusably Neglected Science Fiction Author of All Time - RIP Barry Malzberg

The first mbberg book that I ever read was beyond Apollo which was awarded I think in 1973 the John W Campbell Memorial award and the first John W Campbell Memorial award ever awarded

this book tactics of Conquest that I held up earlier is the most different is the most distinct among these three this is a satire of the Chess World that's also a meta satire of the science fiction World following this neurotic chess Grandmaster on his journey to redeem the universe in a chess tournament put on by potentially hostile aliens against his childhood Nemesis

and that is essentially the same book as this except minus the JFK material and this book is about religious martyrdom

destruction of the temple is a dystopian book about a man in the future recreating the JFK assassination over and over again hops around in time nonlinearly and he experiences political martyrdom along the lines of racial violence
