Love it! [G]

Norfressa and Fury, too, albeit only in CO names (well, and transports, for Norfressa)

The worst of all, I recognized all of them; am I reading too much RFC?



There is no such thing as reading too much RFC. There is only not enough RFC to read.

Did anyone else pick up on the Apocalypse Troll references? The only series he missed or I missed reference to was the Starfire set.

Would love to see the specs on a Mark 46.


Think so

I must have missed the Apocalypse Troll reference; what was it?

And was there a Hells Gate/Multiverse reference? Or Empire of Man?

The transtemporal drive is from AT. All of the stories referenced were ones he wrote alone. There was nothing from the colaberations.

I think only out of the dark, empire of man and honorverse were missing, I saw Bolo, excalibur alternative, dahak, in fury born, the transtemporal engine could either be from apocalypse troll or from the multiverse, and obviously several names from bahzell series, this is a great short story.

If he only put stuff were he is the only writter then obviously the transtemporal engine is from apocalypse troll and the series missing from this short story are all those were he has collaborators.

(of course I dont know how to catalogue Bolo since bolo has a multitude of authors)

You have to wonder what suddenly adding 400x planet masses to a solar system is going to do the the gravitational stability of said solar system?

It seems to me orbits would be changing just a bit!
