[QUOTE]Originally posted by Hunter: [QB] [QUOTE](I'm almost certain this was Kube-McDowell, but I also thought I remembered him mentioning it on his webpage, and nothing there appears. So I suppose it could be an elaborate illusion [/QUOTE]I believe that your actually refering to Michael Stackpole [URL=http://www.stormwolf.com/essays/appeal2.html]web page[/URL] as you can see here. As to media tie in versues science fiction, James Blish is probabley better known for his TOS novels then his Cities in Flight series. Of course orginal science fiction might do better if most of it wasnt just Vingean/Banks rehshes. Take Chasm City by Alister Reynolds for instance, there's a sub plot about the Hero and all the nasty things he's done and how he ins't who he says he is. The whole thing comes of as a cheap Use of Weapons rip off. Of course the fact that alot of the classic stuff isn't in print dosen't help, I mean I've been lucky in the fact that the used book store near where I worked carried some classics and hard to get stuff (The war aganist the Chotorr by David Gerrolds, Fury by knutter, the Flandry Series by Anderson, the Sector General stuff by James white)otherwise I never would have read any of them. Of course here in Australia the media tie-ins are usually stuck on single half shelf and are about 4 years old means that the public does see the science ficton stuff, expect it's drowned out by multi-part Fansty series. So are media tie-ins the end of science fiction? No I'd look eslewhere(Future Shock?) [/QB][/QUOTE]
