Died this Day:
John Milo "Mike" Ford (April 10, 1957 – September 25, 2006) was an American science fiction writer. His novel Web of Angels is often considered a proto-cyberpunk novel, predating the publication of William Gibson's 1984 cyberpunk novel Neuromancer by four years.

The cover of Web of Angels by John M. Ford is an intricate, surreal composition with a dark green background dominated by a vast, glowing spiderweb that frames the entire scene. At the top, in bold white, geometric lettering, the title “WEB OF ANGELS” is centered, with the author’s name “JOHN M. FORD” in bright yellow above it. The tagline just above reads: “He was a genius in a computerized universe... and they wanted to kill him for it.” The illustration below is dense with figures and strange imagery, blending fantasy and science fiction elements.
In the foreground, a bald man in a mustard-yellow jumpsuit kneels, one knee raised, turning to face the viewer with an urgent expression and a raised hand, as if caught mid-speech. To his left is a bizarre dragon-like creature with spiked scales, clawed limbs, and a long snout, leaning toward a small seated figure at a table. The table holds geometric shapes and symbols, including a pyramid and cube, suggesting mathematics or coded language. To the right, a reclining, half-nude figure lounges sensually, draped in flowing red fabric. In the midground, two human figures appear to swim or float in a circular pool, one with arms extended toward the center. The entire scene has a fluid, dreamlike quality, with warped perspective and glowing outlines that heighten its hallucinatory effect.

Chapter 8 - "Debrief Encounter"

Skenn survives the onslaught and is taken onboard the HDR Liberator, only to meet Captain Carl Schafer and Commander Ellen Voight. The commanding officers are curious about the reason why someone so steeped in blood would ever consider defection, but the intrusion of Doctor Akari Takuma puts the interrogation on hold and brings to light an unexpected complication.
