Carolina, Columbia Lines: 22 Someone was asking for libertarian sf stories a while back, and I have yet to see one of my favorites mentioned: "And Then There Were None" by Eric Frank Russel I know this has been collected at least a couple times, once in a book by Russel called The Great Explosion (I think). At any rate, it was, like much of Russel's work very funny as well as making a point. On the subject of Libertarian sf, was anyone else disturbed by the destruction of Venus in L Neil Smith's The Venus Belt? I am generally (though not completely) sympathetic to the libertarian cause , but this seemed like going beyond the pale. PS : if I've not spelled Russel correctly, sorry -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ted Nolan usceast!ted 6536 Brookside Circle Columbia, SC 29206 (feather the rast!) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
