And a video event:
The Worcester Public Library is delighted to host Canadian author Robert J. Sawyer at our virtual Science Fiction Book Club meeting this coming Tuesday, July 19 at 1:00 pm.
We will be discussing his novel WWW: Wake, which is the first book in a trilogy; it is followed by WWW: Watch and WWW: Wonder.
Sawyer has won more awards for his work than any other science fiction author. His website is www.sfwriter.com which is the oldest SF author website and the largest. Here’s his page on Wake: https://www.sfwriter.com/exw1.htm His books have been translated into 20 languages.
He will be joining us from his home in Canada.
Wake won the Aurora Award for Best Novel of the Year and was a finalist for both the Hugo Award and Campbell Memorial Award.
The program is free but registration is required:
