He has reviewed a number of science fiction books.
He is based in Santa Cruz. Can email him at his website.
Possible Theme: Have him discuss a book he has reviewed, like Rainbow's End, at Borders. Or discuss how one gets into the interesting business of reviewing books of one's choice (lots of nonfiction and sci-fi in Rick's case).
