Lines: 22 From: Wahl.ES@Xerox.ARPA amqueue: Please, No! If I were Jacqueline Lichtenberg or Joan Winston, I would sue! You're probably thinking about Star Trek Lives! a non-fiction book about the ST phenomenon. Jacqueline is best noted in ST fiction for her Kraith fanzine series. Joan also wrote The Making of ST Conventions. The Phoenix books (Price of and Fate of) were written by Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath. They also wrote The Prometheus Design, and perhaps a few another ST novel or two. Fandom is remarkably divided on the subject of whether these books are great literature or trash, but my vote is strongly for the latter. They also edited two pro books of ST short stories, New Voyages I and II, which caused a lot of flack from the authors whose stories were edited. --Lisa Wahl Star Trek Welcommittee (note, the information on the authors was derived from the Welcommittee's Directory of ST Organizations and Publications.
