OK, so, I've been rummaging through Edenstar's virtual box of books, and - hooray! - found that Christian SF is not quite the non-entity it sometimes seems (as Stuart so rightly pointed out yesterday).
In the space of a few minutes I have found time travel, alternate history, space travel, a cyber-thriller-type-thing and what almost looks like a space opera... who'da thunk it? At that was just a scratch of the surface, a few random picks I may not otherwise have come across. There is also plenty more that I have heard of, but have yet to read; and a wider selection of stuff by some authors I am aware of - I really must check out Bill Myers, for instance.
So, you may well ask, where is the downside to all this fabulous Christian sf?
I would have thought that was obvious. Turns out all my most original ideas have already been done!

Hahah--that's the way of life, isn't it, Steve. But that's true in any genre. All stories have been written before. The key is to make yours have a fresh, original something that makes the old story new again.
Great post.
