@avalanchethecat saidI enjoyed that. Good stuff 👍👍
Currently working through Adrian Tchaikovsky's biblio, on The Doors of Eden. Always good to find a new, quality SF author, would recommend if I cared at all.

@PB1022
Oh you're a SF fan are you? What have you loved? I'm always open to tips.

@avalanchethecat saidHave you read anything by Marty Reynolds or Phil Bangkock? I find them more erudite and challenging than that Tchaikovsky dude, but unfortunately their biblios aren’t commercially available (out of print.) You have to know someone who knows someone to get a copy or have good luck at a bookstore that specializes in rare, out-of-print books.

I think Phil’s estate may be trying to reprint at least some of his books and will let you know if that happens.

@pb1022 saidSeems that these authors are very obscure, normal research methods yield no hits for me.

Cold you write down at least a title, preferably an ISBN?

@pb1022 saidI have heard of neither, and can find no trace of either on-line.

You say you enjoyed The Doors of Eden? This surprises me, considering your attitude towards evolution, which is, as you're obviously aware, the central theme of the novel. How did you feel about the giant, sentient trilobites?
