Interviews with Author Ben Bova

Famed SF author Ben Bova continues to maintain a high profile in the afterglow of the release of his new novel, Mars Life (2008). The interesting thing about Dr. Bova is that he knows a lot about both science and science fiction, and he always has something intelligent to say. Here are two recent interviews:

• Mars Life: An Interview with Ben Bova, at the blog Biology in Science Fiction

• Slice of SciFi podcast #179, which includes an interview with Ben Bova. If we recall, the interview starts at about 30 minutes into the podcast. Thanks to SF Signal for bringing this to our attention.

We read Mars Life this past summer. It’s a great book, the third in Bova's Mars trilogy.
