Jim Baen (of Baen Books) is looking for (previously published) stories about or backgrounded by major eco-catastophes caused by giant meteor strike (eg 'dinosaur killer'). He's being a little cryptic about *why* he wants these (I have my suspicions, but..) The general idea is something like the falling of the 'foot' in "Footfall", or "Lucifer's Hammer", ("The Dinosaurs Look Up"? :-) but in short story or at most novelette length. I can't think of any less than book length myself ("When Worlds Collide"?) but if you can, mail me the relevant details (author, title, and if possible where first published) and I'll forward the whole mess off to Jim. I'll post a list here, too, if you're interested. Thanks. -- Alastair JW Mayer BIX: al UUCP: ...!utzoo!dciem!nrcaer!cognos!geovision!alastair (Why do they call it a signature file if I can't actually *sign* anything?)
