Hogan in net.sf-lovers. Anyone care to comment on his books? I've read and enjoyed them, but enough about my tastes. Perhaps some of Hogan's tales are appropriate reading for "Libertarian SF" fans. Hogan's latest, "Voyage from Yesteryear," is somewhat different from his earlier works (the Giants, etc.) which speculate about the origin of humanity on Earth, among other things. It seems to continue the trend seen in "The Genesis Machine" and "Thrice Upon a Time." (along with "The Two Faces of Tomorrow"). "Voyage...," however, seems to outdo all Hogan's others in describing what human society could be like if technology is used properly. Feel welcome to reply to me by mail, although I'd like to see a short discussion on the net. Marion Hakanson {hp-pcd,teklabs}!orstcs!hakanson
