Winner
I’d missed “lon” the first couple of reads, but that was used for clones in “The Jesus Incident” and “The Lazarus Effect”. Other books in the series are “Destination: Void” (the original book in the series) and “The Ascension Factor”, neither of which I’ve read (only read TJI after seeing it on a relative’s shelf).
So he get’s to hold his head up high, on account of his literary awesomeness. Everybody else, hang your heads in shame.
And apologies to Minty for teasing her with N. Fillian.

Are you trying to say Frank Herbert is obscure? I thought everyone was required read al 6 Dune books and the Jesus Incident series at least twice before being allowed on the internets. I’m going to have write a letter to my senetor about this.

Very true, although much, much tastier.

You were only joking?! And here I already went out and bought all the supplies. . .
Well, that settles it, then. Tonight I’m going to burn all those submissions I’ve been working on for you while weeping into the world’s biggest sundae.

That’s what I get for obsessing on Ringo, et al, for the past couple o’ years.
Heh, “But Minty, you MUST submit.” How many ways can this be interpreted?
