41. Under The Covers: How Like A God By Clough HOW LIKE A GOD by brenda W. clough Tor March 1997; $22.95 hardcover 288pp; ISBN 0312-86263-6 (also available in paperback) 2 Reviews. http://www.silcom.com/~manatee/clough_how.html

HOW LIKE A GOD by Brenda W. Clough Tor March 1997; $22.95 hardcover 288 pp; ISBN 0-312-86263-6 (also available in paperback) 2 Reviews Highly Recommended by Harriet Klausner Rob Lewis is a family man, who loves his wife and children. He lives a decent middle class existence in Washington DC, working as a computer programmer. Everything suddenly changes for Rob when he realizes that he has a new God-like mental ability. He can read the minds and hearts of people and influence their thoughts. Being a high minded adult, Rob believes that he can solve some of the world's worse problem spots. He plans to offer his gift to the President for the betterment of the world. However, with power comes responsibility and Rob gets a major dose of that. He finds himself struggling with all the woes and concerns of the people surrounding him, including his own children. To stop from destroying his children's independence, Rob flees to New York where his mind and his appearance rapidly deteriorates. When he nearly rapes his girl friend via the use of his powers, he knows it is time to confront himself and the ultimate source of his prowess, even at the cost of his life. HOW LIKE A GOD is a fascinating allegorical science fiction work of art that can be read on two levels: that of a mind falling deep into depression due to the inability to cope and that of the authority and responsibilities associated with the powers of a God. Brenda W. Clough scores big time with the decent into hell by Rob, but somewhat fails in her efforts to provide the even bigger picture: accountability that should be associated with a God (think classic Star Trek episode where the officer obtains God-like powers, but fails to use them wisely). HOW LIKE A GOD remains a unique tale worth reading by fans of science fiction who prefer their tale to be a bit different. This book challenges and provokes, while forcing the reader to cogitate, an achievement only a truly gifted writer accomplishes.

Brenda Clough Brenda W. Clough spent much of her childhood overseas, courtesy of the U.S. government. She has lived in Laos, the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Germany. Several years working as a meek mild-mannered reporter for a major metropolitan newsletter enabled her to write a fantasy novel, The Crystal Crown , published in 1984. She has also written The Dragon of Mishbil, The Realm Beneath and The Name of the Sun , and An Impossumble Summer , a children's novel. A number of short stories have appeared in magazines and anthologies, including The Sandman Book of Dreams Her latest book, How Like A God , was published by Tor Books in March 1997. It is a contemporary suburban fantasy, of which reviewers say: Clough brings myth and science and plain human existence (complex as all get-out) together for what proves to be a fine blend, and a very good read, offering physical, psychological, and metaphysical insights into the human condition, along with the sometimes-delightfully outlandish action that drives the best of pulp fiction.

Clough Tor, 1997, 287 pages, 32.95$Can., ISBN 0-312-86263-6 While "superpowers" are usually the province of comic book superheroes, Science Fiction also touches on the subject from time to time, usually from a much more "realistic" perspective. Compare Robert Silverberg's Dying Inside to any issue of the X-Men for a good shock. Brenda W. Clough seemed to be aware of this as she wrote How Like a God . It's the story of an ordinary husband, father and computer programmer named Rob Lewis who suddenly acquires the power to read and shape minds. Clough's protagonist makes several explicit references to the numerous comic books he had read at a younger age, while undergoing a descent through the lowest levels of society.

record writing reading features ... Analog - July/August 2002 Have just started Clarion West, and time is at a premium right now. I hoped to have this and other reviews wrapped up before beginning, but it didn't happen, in part because I accidentally deleted half of the reviews while packing up for Clarion. Accordingly, I am not putting up any new author bios until Clarion is over, although I am going to try to keep up with reviews. That may be hopelessly naive, but we'll see how it goes. This is a massive double issue of Analog, which is a heck of a lot of Analog to digest under one cover. I was dismayed at how many of the stories were clearly not standalone pieces of fiction, but novel excerpts. This trend appears to on the rapid upswing.

Castro crosses a couple of genres: it's a courtroom drama, a police procedural, hard sci-fi, social sci-fi, alien contact, and far future speculation. That's a lot to take on, and while I had my problems with the story, I would say Castro pulled it off. There's a lot to think about, both what worked and what didn't.
