Lord of Thundertown

O F Cieri has a new queer sci fi book out: “Lords of Thundertown.” In the movies, Thundertown was depicted like a real town, with boundaries, Folk-run businesses, and a government.

Instead, Alex Delatorre goes to Thundertown for answers and finds clues leading to a new Lord trying to unite the population. No one has seen … Read more
