Glimpses—Written Nonfiction

People and Places

A man that is of Copernicus' Opinion, that this Earth of ours is a Planet, carry'd round and enlighten'd by the Sun, like the rest of them, cannot but sometimes have a fancy . . . that the rest of the Planets have their Dress and Furniture, nay and their Inhabitants too as well as this Earth of ours.

—Christian Huygens, New Conjectures Concerning the Planetary
Worlds, Their Inhabitants and Productions, circa 1690

Reinventing History

A quarter-century and more has passed since the earliest sketchy ideas of what would become the “wormholes universe” first saw the light of day. Since then, the creative forces behind that universe, science fiction as a genré, and the state of the real world have changed profoundly. As a result, much of the original material has drifted hopelessly out of date or, on more mature consideration, seems less plausible than it did at the time it was created.
The only answer to such concerns is a complete overhaul. Necessary as it may be, such a rewriting is a great deal of work, and will require a goodly amount of time. Until it begins to take shape, these pages will likely seem rather bare.

Many characters, elements, and situations were created wholly by or in collaboration with others, most notably the Double Helixers and alien species, created by Ken Pick; other contributors are noted elsewhere in this site.
