Deciding to make up a name because it's such a lousy prize he says, "Cranston Snord" and the punchline is "THAT IS CORRECT!"

I had to use a calendar generator and graph paper to square events with "real" time in the BattleTech universe. That being said, it was a helluva book and I really enjoyed coordinating with you on intertwining events from Dreams with key elements of To Ride the Chimera.<br /><br />As for Leviathans novels: I've got a few one-paragraph pitch ideas jotted and ready to fling at Catalyst if and when they go that route. Maybe you and I and Steve and a couple of others could sell them on a package deal for a whole series? (Actually, maybe leave my name out of it while pitching the concept; let them think only the quality writers are involved.)<br /><br />But much as I enjoy your science fiction, my favorite book of yours is The Cruise of the Sea Eagle. You autographed a copy for my father five or six years ago and he really enjoyed it. Now that he's gone it's on the bookshelf here in my office; about six feet to my right as I type this.KeVin K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14792797517571690942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309968962371255734.post-84597670388994840012011-11-20T15:59:09.503-08:002011-11-20T15:59:09.503-08:00Ost Troll,

If Catalyst ever announces the need for these, I am all over it. <br /><br />BlaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309968962371255734.post-40212957554972731902011-11-20T02:31:25.696-08:002011-11-20T02:31:25.696-08:00Thank you Pardoe for all your contributions to Bat...Thank you Pardoe for all your contributions to Battletech over the years.<br />Exodus Road was the first Battletech novel i read (twighlight of the clans first is a bit cart before the horse i know) but it sucked me in. I now play Battletech every thursday night and have been tracking down deadtree editions of the old novels when i can. Alongside Stackpole and Thurston you wove the tale of Battletech as a beautiful web of violence and politics.Drew Triebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811532259868592246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309968962371255734.post-34621481388429514572011-11-20T02:09:30.677-08:002011-11-20T02:09:30.677-08:00a) Please do a blog about the "Star Lord Expe...a) Please do a blog about the "Star Lord Experience"<br /><br />b) What about Leviathans novels? :DOst Trollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055771521949392742noreply@blogger.com
