Lines: 20 From: "Lubkin David"@LLL-MFE.ARPA Sigh. Price of the Phoenix was written by Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath. Anne Quint probably thought that Jacqueline Lichtenberg and Joan Winston wrote the book because Lichtenberg, Winston and Marshak wrote Star Trek Lives!, published in 1974? Jacqueline has never written a professional trek novel. Before doing the gen/sime books, she created an elaborate offshoot of Star Trek called Kraith, which thirty or so authors have written subsidiary stories for over the years. Apart from the literary merits of Price of the Phoenix, Marshak and Culbreath were not highly thought of in trek circles, although they may have redeemed themselves by now. They edited two collections of fan fiction, Star Trek: The New Voyages, I and II. I do not know the truth of the matter, but at least three of the authors of stories they printed report that (1) their stories were altered for publication, without their permission, and/or (2) they were not paid (and remember that ST:NV sold a lot of copies). -- Lubkin
