WAR DOGSAN EPIC INTERSTELLAR TALE OF WAR FROM A MASTER OF SCIENCE FICTION. The Gurus came in peace, bearing gifts. They were a highly advanced, interstellar species who brought amazingly useful and sophisticated technology to the human race. There was, of course, a catch. The Gurus warned of a far more malevolent life form, beings who have hounded the Gurus from sun to sun, planet to planet, across the cosmos. Pundits have taken to calling them the Antagonists-or Antags-and they have already established a beachhead on Mars. For all they've done for us, the Gurus would now like our help.

- The Star Trek Concordance
- Way back in the 1960s, Bjo Trimble scoped me out as a possible illustrator for THE STAR TREK CONCORDANCE, the first fan encyclopedia based on the show. I was sixteen. She sent me an envelope filled with clippings from the cutting room floor at Desilu, a treasure trove of edits, in-betweens during set-ups, tests for special effects and actor lighting--to use as references for illustrations. I supplied a number of illos for the project--mostly spaceship and exterior scenes. Among my first publications!

(Posted 12/21/2014) - Arthur Machen Collection At Risk
- While libraries around the world face challenges, to be the holder of record for a collection of one of the most interesting writers of the 19th and 20th centuries--Arthur Machen--adds additional weight to the fate of Newport library services. Arthur Machen was a highly influential writer of fantasy and horror, a predecessor to H.P. Lovecraft, much beloved of writers and film-makers throughout the last century, and renowned to this day for his potent mix of Victorian criticism and extraordinary imagination. Many of our bestselling horror writers--including Stephen King and Peter Straub--owe him a debt of gratitude. As well, his translation of the Memoirs of Casanova is regarded as the finest available in English.
I can only hope this collection will remain in a good home, or, if the city council decides to rearrange its libraries, that the Machen collection will be donated to a local university or other facility capable of making the materials available for viewing and reading and scholarship.
Sincerely,
Greg Bear
