I was hoping to point you toward Jason Ward’s MASTERMIND but he seems to have removed it. I kept the original texts as DOC files. I don’t plan on reposting everything but I thought it would be interesting in this context to put one chapter up and give you and your readers the link to it…

You’re welcome. No cost, no obligation.

Yeah, Khan is batty, but he’s no Roy (Rogers, for example).

That’s a lot like my Raidun90 as well and the Morningstars.

No indeed. Although the covers of your books alone should clue some people in.

I still think the lady clothed in a sweater but no bra is sexier, for me, than the one who is barely dressed at all. I agree with Robert Heinlein who said in different words than I do here: less isn’t always more when it comes to beautiful women and their adornment.

On another tangent: the original “robots” you discuss here are in principle like my Manikins and Nulls (they are the same species but different sects, and based in the same sort of exotic matter – n-crystals and the like – from the same Realm that my protagonists’ “hyper-tech” uses. Jason Ward’s character Mastermind wanted to treat the Nulls as machines. His Null co-conspirator strongly objected: “in our own Realm, n-crystals are living things. Only here in this Realm do organic beings like you treat us as ‘mere machines’.” (I cite from memory – it was an old story, and it’s on Triond somewhere.)

Its an interesting, if too earnest play. You should read it.

Shows what I knew about the original concept of “robot”. I was always curious but until now, in this Age of the Internet and of Wikipedia, I couldn’t find out easily. Very, very interesting.

LOL! Well he did point out that we saw Kirk earlier and his bare chest so he thought it balanced out.

None of this even past my mind until the internet said I should be ‘outraged’… Clearly they don’t know my own fiction.
