Greetings Clark World Citizens I hope this podcast finds you well. This is our fifth story

for the month of June 2016, Issue 117. The piece is titled The Promise of God and is by Michael Flynn.

Michael Flynn began selling science fiction in 1984 with the short story Slan Leip.

His first novel in the country of the blind appeared in 1990.

He has since sold 70 or more stories to Analog, Asimov's, Fantasy and Science Fiction, and elsewhere.

He is best known for the Hugo Nominated, Eifilheim and his tales of the spiral arm sequence, which include the January dancer, up

Jin River, in the lion's mouth, and on razor's edge.

His most recent book is the collection Capt captive dreams. He is currently working on a novel

The Shipwrecks of Time set in the Alien World of 1965. You can find him at his website

Tofspot.ffSpot.com.
