Or as my m...Rambo as in Rambo: First Blood part II? Or as my mind it always translates: Rambo II. Agreement here with the verdict of yours. <br /><br />The same goes with Aliens. Sequels have a right to be called whatever they're called, but my sadly unorganised little mind more often than not just adds a number to the original and quietly <I>forgets</I> the real title. <br /><br />As to those Alien-movie tie-ins: Ann Crispin is a fairly known American Star Trek authors, whose <B>real</B> claim to fame in my book is her passionate work for the Science Fiction Writers of America, with which she has done tremendously important job in informing newbie writers in the dangerous world of publishing. As you more than well know, vanity publishing, while sometimes good and admirable option, is riddled with crooks and grifters and swindlers of some real lowdown caliber. I met her in Philadeplhia Worldcon in 2001 and she seemed like a very gracious and concerned lady, who really wanted to advice the new writers with her more than appropriate motto (could be originally someone else's): "Money flows toward the author" as in, you're not supposed to pay to the publisher.<br /><br />As to Terry Bisson. Now, he is by far the best writer of these three (as in Crispin, Bisson and Foster) though I like ADF a great deal (I met him in 2002 and had a delightful conversation with the man; he was the GoH of Lunacon in Rye, NY). Bisson is a respected sf/f-author, who has co-written the "sequel" to Walter M. Miller's legendary A Can to Kill Four Leiber Wits (or as traditionally it's known: A Canticle for Leibowitz - Viimeinen kiitoshymni in Finnish) called St. Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman after Miller died and left an unfinished manuscript behind. Bisson has written a number of great stories of his own, me favourites have been the novel Talking Man - a neat on-the-road contemporary fantasy - and the short story collection <I>Bears Discover Fire</I>.<br /><br />Bisson's own bibliography has this to say about the Alien-novelization: <I>Alien Resurrection (HarperPrism, 1997) Digest novelization of a screenplay by Joss Whedon; his name and mine both removed by contract</I>. He seems to have done also Fifth Element and Galaxy Quest.jukkahoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012463983611753520noreply@blogger.com
