 Hi! This my first attempt at getting something posted to the net, so
 please be patient with me (i.e like if I've left anything out from 
 the header, break any ettiquette (sp?) rules, fart rudely, etc ...)

 I'd like to know if anyone out there in net-land has heard of a SF
 author by the name of M.A. Foster?  He/she (I don't know which) did
 "Warriors of Dawn", "Game Players of Zan", "Waves" ... etc

 In my opinion, this person is just a fantastic writer.  It seems to me
 that he (in the generic-use-mode) must have a very solid grounding in
 social pyschology AND math.  He likes most to play with different societies 
 which he constructs with great detail.  I don't mean that there is alot of
 volume there, its just that what he presents is so believable.  The
 characters are interesting as well.  He usually doesn't draw upon the usual
 North-American cultures when he does the background history of these
 people (or planets).  Its quite refreshing to see something very 
 new and very good at the same time.
