S. SHUTTLE DOWN $ 2.95 > (writing as "Lee Reprint 1981 paperback. Richardson's > other, and perhaps better known, > Correy") pseudonym is G. Harry Stine, which he > uses for scientific articles. Unless I am very much mistaken, G. Harry Stine is the man's real name; it is by that name that some friends of mine knew him long before he became a writer. Lee Correy is a pseudonym, and Reed Richardson is the name of one of the main characters in SHUTTLE DOWN. An excellent book, by the way, that I have been trying to find ever since some dastard stole mine from my vault. Some hype has been added to the cover, stating that the problems involved in shuttle recovery on polar orbits out of Vandenburg were first explored in this book (copyright 1981) before the US negotiated a treaty with Chile for use of Easter Island as an emergency landing point (1985), and that may be true. An excellent story with lots of technical detail. Lyle McElhaney ...hao!cisden!lmc
