While there are moments of comedy in STAR PRINCE CHARLIE, it also deals with serious ideas.<br /><br />Btw, may I ask you a question? Can you remember IF I submitted a note for your blog discussing the possible inconsistency of the Terran Empire's Naval Intelligence Corps discovering Aycharaych was a "universal" telepath in THE DAY OF THEIR RETURN and agents as senior as Dominic Flandry NOT knowing that rather important bit of information in "Honoable Enemies," set about five years later? I've been searching your blog archives looking for it, with no luck. I did discuss this issue in comboxes, but I'm almost sure I expanded those comments for a note posted here.<br /><br />Since you are going to be away, no rush!<br /><br />SeanSean M.

His THE MAKESHIFT ROCKET was a real laugh riot!<br /><br />And I thought Nicholas van Rijn's mangling of Anglic and malapropisms was funny too!<br /><br />SeanSean M.

It's my belief that not all SF needs to be sternly serious all the time, and that some room should be made for humor and comedy. That was what the authors desired to do in their Hoka stories. And, from time to time you do see serious ideas mentioned or discussed in these stories.<br /><br />In addition, Sandra Miesel wrote an essay commenting on these stories, albeit she did so in a sardonic mock academic manner meant to satirize left wing academic writing. Last, besides the stories in EARTHMAN'S BURDEN and HOKA!, Anderson and Dickson wrote a novel, STAR PRINCE CHARLIE, set in the same time line as the Interbeing League.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
