WWWednesday: June 14, 2017

This week’s word for Wednesday is the noun aquatile. An aquatile is a creature that lives in water. I’m guessing it can also be used as an adjective. Can one have “an aquatile lifestyle?”

The setting is an alternate world where the US broke up after the Vietnam War into nearly a dozen territories.

City At World’s End by Edmond Hamilton

Edmond Hamilton’s book initially as a “complete novel” in the July 1950 issue of the pulp magazine Starling Stories, was released in hardcover the following year, and, in ’53,
