From: king@Kestrel.ARPA I was not really impressed with The Code of the Lifemaker. I mean, for god's sake, they even had HORSES! The "people" ate, slept, looked, and to a large extent acted just like us. The only difference, the only thing that made for any interest, was the fact that a faction of earthlings wanted to take away the robots' rights (as if stealing their "life forms" was likely to be useful, given that they evolved for a temperature of -150 C -- what form of life would you steal from Earth if you lived on a metallic-life-form planet with a temperature of 350 C?) A better writing with the same premise is a short story by Anterson entitled Epilog. Does anyone out there have the name of a third? Dick

Has anyone else really enjoyed this book? I would like to hear from all the James P. Hogan fans... What is his address (USnail or e-mail) I would LOVE to write to him. He was listed in Who's-who of American author's a while back, but that gives his east coast address. Anyone have the west coast address? -- --------------------------- Todd Cooper (617) 424-9018 UUCP: ...!harvard!bu-cs!todd ARPA: todd%bu-cs.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa USNail: 13 Marlborough St. #1, Boston, MA 02116
