To answer the question burning in your mind… yes. The image on the cover is absolutely a dog-faced warrior riding into battle on a winged acorn. Yes, this is an actual scene in the book. No, this is not the strangest thing you will read today.
“A True Story” or “Lucians True History,” first published 1800 years ago, is arguably the first science fiction story ever written. This novella follows Lucian as he goes to the moon, fights aliens on the sun, gets swallowed by a 200-mile-long whale, and has other adventures. It deals with alien races, cultures, strange technology, and other genre tropes. “A True Story” was sci-fi before sci-fi was sci-fi. And every bit of it is as odd as it sounds.
This is going to get weird.
