My wife recently brought home a book by Joe Haldeman and
Jack C. Haldeman II; I think the title was Worlds Apart.
I don't know the relationship between the two, but father
and son sounds reasonable.

Joe and Jack Haldeman II are brothers.  Their father, JH I died
recently.

Justin Leiber (son of Fritz) had a decent sf book out a few years ago.  I 
believe that the title was BEYOND REJECTION, and dealt with the transplant
of a dying person's mind into another body.

Joe and Jack are brothers: Jack did a solo book 'There is No Darkness',
whose segments appeared in various issues of Issac Asimov's SF Magazine
as 'Starschool on ....'.

Their father, Jack Sr. (?), M.D., recently passed away.  He was a former
member of the Australian Flying Doctor service, and purportedly an
early advocate of hospital intensive care units.  This from a recent
issue of Science Fiction Chronicle, an EXCELLENT monthly newsletter
on what's happening to whom in the field.

BTW, I think that 'Worlds Apart', the second of a planned trilogy,
is entirely Joe's.

*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

The two Haldemans are brothers; Joe must be in his early forties,
and I'm sure Gay would have told us at INCONJUNCTION last year
if they'd had any kids old enough to write.  (BTW, if you look
in last year's Aug. or Sept. Locus, you'll see Joe and Gay (his
wife) dressed up in Rocky Horror outfits that they wore in part of
my play, ROCKEY HALDEMAN HORROR SHOW, a perversion of the original
musical, in which they appeared...)

Reasonable, yes.  True, no.

Unless one has recently adopted the other, Joe and Jay are brothers. At least,
when they and I were members of some of the same fanclubs, they SAID they 
were brothers.
