Is this the same story? You betcha. "Rocheworld" was the name of the three-part serialization of FLIGHT OF THE DRAGONFLY in ANALOG, December 1982 to February 1983. In this case, it isn't that the serial ended up as a book, but that the book was serialized in the magazine. Most of the serials that appear in ANALOG (or any of the magazines, actually) are novels that have already sold for book publication. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...} !decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA <"Bibliography is my business">
