Re query in V7,#40 -- Donald Barr (not Daniel Barr), author of SPACE RELATIONS
and A PLANET IN ARMS, is also/in reality (to the best of my knowledge the
historian DONALD BARR CHIDSEY, author of books under that name.

Or a relative, or I'm mistaken.  But I read one of Chidsey's books, and the
subject matter (war, revolution, historical stuff, 1776 redux) seemed cut from
the same cloth.  I also think the bios clinched it, but can't swear to it.

Doeas anybody have any comments on Patricia McKillip's RIDDLE OF STARS Trilogy
(RIDDLE MASTER OF HED, HEIR OF SEA AND FIRE, HARPIST IN THE WIND)?
