Jason Anspach and Nick Cole aren't officially PulpRev, but they have strong ties to that scene. Nathan Housley of The Pulp Archivist takes a look at the pulpy new space opera series from Anspach and Cole:

For those who prefer a more militaristic take on the Star Wars formula, there’s Galaxy’s Edge, the breakout series of 2017 by Jason Anspach and Nick Cole. Released on a monthly basis, this saga of a spreading galactic civil war starts with Galaxy's Edge: Legionnaire and the Battle of Kublar. And in the words of Sergeant Chhun:

"The galaxy is a dumpster fire. A hot, stinking, dumpster fire. And most days I don’t know if the legionnaires are putting out the flames, or fanning them into an inferno."
(...)

More books in the series are already out. This is looking to be very cool. I haven't heard a bad thing about this series from any of the people whose opinions I trust. Somehow, I need to squeeze this into my reading queue. Legionnaire can be bought here:

www.amazon.com/Legionnaire-Galaxys-Edge-Book-1-ebook/dp/B071GN8Y4G


Loads of overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Right on!  Just found out that Anspach and Cole's Imperator is free/$.99 on Amazon through the 24th:

This book might be the best point to jump on the planet caravan that is the Galaxy's Edge series. I just read the first chapter and this looks badass.

They're also offering Henry Vogel's excellent first novel in his "Fugitive Heir" series:

www.amazon.com/dp/B01BC4PUSY

To me, this reads like a combo of Heinlein and AE Van Vogt...and that's a good thing. Vogel is also a fan of ERB and Brackett, which is evident in his work. Pick this up for free until midnight!

Nathan "Pulp Archivist" Housley reviews Anspach and Cole's badass new Galaxy's Edge novel, Imperator:

thepulparchvist.blogspot.com/2018/02/imperator.html


"[Imperator is] the first glimpse beneath the hood of the Emperor, Goth Sullus. Here the authors lay bare his history, his motives, his rise to power, and even the secret of his name. Part character study and part secret history of Galaxy's Edge, Anspach and Cole weave three plot lines together, his present, his past, and our near-future, into the action and mysteries readers have come to expect from Galaxy's Edge..."

James Reasoner, himself a neo-pulp legend, reviews Dave Hardy's Outlaws of the Legion:

For over a decade, Hardy has been writing pulpish tales that would've fit right into the pages of Argosy or Adventure. You can buy Outlaws of the Legion here:

Although, I'd advise holding off on reading the review if you want to read my story, as it does give a little bit away.

Every issue of Cirsova has been a quality production. I'm sure this one won't disappoint. Looking forward to reading your story, Jason!
