I'm reminded of A WORLD NAMED CLEO... Hi, Paul!<br /><br /> I'm reminded of A WORLD NAMED CLEOPATRA, to which Poul Anderson contributed an essay and a short story titled "The Serpent in Eden." I would call this a "mini" shared world round robin with contributions by various authors. Alas, only Anderson's story was good and interesting to read.<br /><br /> I think MURASAKI was a more successful round robin shared world anthology. Other autnors besides Anderson contributed stories worth reading.<br /><br /> And, yes, the great care Anderson took with SCIENTIFICALLY describing the worlds he sets his stories on is a major readon why he was so successful a writer.<br /><br /> SeanSean M.
