Return to Arkon by Charles R. Richard

Post by Lester Curtis »

I didn't care much for this one . . . the tone is flat, and there isn't nearly enough in the way of characterization. Not to mention that the story poses questions and then leaves nothing in the way of clear hints, let alone answers. It was like overhearing someone's 'inside joke' and wondering why others found it funny.
I was raised by humans. What's your excuse?

You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.

Any way us plebes can find old issues? The Archives seem a bit spare, at times.

Someday, the Author Index will be updated to include stuff from the last 6 or 7 years... someday...

If Rob doesn't update the Back Issues index shortly, I guess I will do it. That way, at least you will be able to access the content of previous issues grouped as it was when first published (not that we have "theme issues").

I COULD tell you how to bring up individual index pages from past issues, but Rob would beat me severely about the head and shoulders if I did, as this would be like showing you the Man Behind The Curtain in Oz.
