[net.sf-lovers] Alternate worlds

Heiny.Henr@PARC-MAXC.ARPA@sri-unix.UUCP (08/12/83)

Some other alternate Earth stories/books include the Compleat Enchanter
series by L Sprague deCamp and Fletcher Pratt; the Omnivore/Orn/Ox
series by Piers Anthony;  lots of stuff by Michael Moorcock, especially
the Eternal Champion cycle and 'The Rituals of Infinity'; and the
Gandalara series by Randall Garrett and Vicki Anne Heydron (sp?).
That's all I can think of off the top of my head, I'll look through my
library this weekend and see what else I can find.

As to numbering/naming universes, there is no reason not to use your
home universe as the origin.  If you want to converse with other
travellers or groups of travellers, you will have to find (or write!)
some sort of conversion tables to help you.  For a long time the English
measured degrees longitude from Greenwich and the French from Paris.
