There's one thing though, maybe I've missed it somewhere, but I haven't noticed a description of the natives' appearance. That might be a minor flaw, but otherwise it's great. Would you accept that I forgot to describe them? As it is, I had to trim...  [Read More]

This was written back in the early 80s. As a veteran of the Vietnam era, I always thought being blamed for what my government had done was stupid. So I combined two different sutiations with this one. One of the standard themes in science fiction is...  [Read More]

The only thing I might comment on is the abrupt change with Dr. Bennett--I thought she was going to be a minor character in this, and she ends up having a major role at the end. I would like to see more of the progression of her change to what she is...  [Read More]

I really don't know how you didn't get this published yet. All I can do is wish you good luck and hope you publish it. Most publishers will refuse to look at your work unless an agent submits it. The problem with agents is that they decide how wor...  [Read More]
