Glad to see another Schenck (pronounced "skenk", btw, rather than
"shenk") fan. My first Schenck story was "Battle of the Abaco Reefs",
which was nominated for a Hugo Award, and I've enjoyed his work
since. Some of his stuff is fair to middlin', some of it *very*
good. The two novels are a bit weaker than his short fiction, but
still worth reading. Following is a bibliography, first appearances
only. I don't have enough time to wade through my "best of" or other
anthologies to look for reprints.
