John Stewart "Jack" Williamson (April 29, 1908 – November 10, 2006) was an early and influential American Science Fiction writer whose career lasted over seventy-five years. His first story, "The Metal Man", was published in 1928, when he was just twenty years old, and his last novel, The Stonehenge Gate , was published in 2005, when he was 97. He was a regular collaborator with Frederik Pohl; the two produced nearly a dozen novels together. His best known solo works include The Legion of Space series, the Humanoids series, and the Seetee Ship series. His best known collaborations are The Starchild Trilogy and the Undersea Trilogy , both with Frederik Pohl. He also wrote a newspaper comic, Beyond Mars , from 1952 to 1955. He is credited with naming Terraforming and LEGO Genetics, and was one of the first authors to write about Antimatter. He was the second-ever recipient of the SFWA Grand Master Award, after Robert A. Heinlein. Wall Around a Star: The Saga of Cuckoo — Frederik Pohl. Click on any of the links above to see more books like this one. EDITIONS.

    What Is A LEGEND Adventure Game? In an adventure game from Legend, you become the main character in an evolving story that takes place in a world populated with interesting people, places, and things. You see this world through your main character's eyes, and you play the game by directing his actions. Like a book or a movie, the story unfolds as you travel from place to place, encountering situations which require action on your part. You can think of each of these situations as a puzzle. The key to solving these puzzles will often be creative thinking and clever use of objects you have picked up in your travels. You will get points as you solve puzzles, and your score will help you monitor your progress. Throughout the game the richly textured graphics, prose, and music will draw you into a spellbinding adventure that could only be brought to you by the master storytellers of Legend Entertainment Company.

  • Frederik Pohl
    The Gateway Trip : Tales And Vignettes Of The Heechee Copyright (c) 1990 by Frederik Pohl There was a time, half a million years ago or so, when some new neighbors came into the vicinity of the Earth's solar system. They were eager to be friendly-that is, that was what they wanted to be, if they could find anyone around to be friends with. So one day they dropped in on the third planet of the system, the one we now know as Earth itself, to see who might be at home. It wasn't a good time to pay a call. Oh, there was plenty of life on Earth, no doubt of that. The planet crawled with the stuff. There were cave bears and saber-tooth cats and things like elephants and things like deer. There were snakes and fish and birds and crocodiles; and there were disease germs and scavengers; and there were forests and savannahs and vegetation of all kinds. But one element was conspicuously missing in the catalogue of terrestrial living creatures. That was a great pity, because that was the one quality the visitors were most anxious to find. What those visitors from space couldn't find anywhere on the planet was intelligence. It just hadn't been invented yet. The visitors sought it very diligently. The closest they could find to a being with what they were after was a furry little creature without language, fire, or social institutions-but which did, at least, have a few promising skills. (For instance, it could manage to crunch tools out of random bits of rock.) When modern humans came along and began tracing their evolutionary roots they would namd this particular brand of prehuman "Australopithecus." The visitors didn't call it anything in particular .

  • Discussion About Frederik Pohl
    Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Michael Page (May 2020) Michael Page is the author of a number of books which examine the history and cultural importance of science fiction. He has published analyses on the life and works of Frederik Pohl, James E. Gunn, and edited a collection of stories by Miles J. Breuer a “forgotten” science fiction writer from the Pulp Era. He is a lecturer at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, and regularly teaches courses on both science fiction and nineteenth century British literature. He also acts as the faculty advisor for Laurus, UNL's undergraduate literary magazine. Blaine Savini: There is a belief that most writers approach novels from one of two directions...either they write the first sentence and find out what happens as the story is written or they know how it will end and then explain how the ending occurred. Would either of these descriptions describe Mr. Pohl's writing style...why or why not? My sense is that Pohl primarily took the latter tactic. His adage was “four pages a day,” meaning that no matter what he was doing or how he was feeling, he always carved out some time to write those four pages each day. I’ll paraphrase what he says in The Way the Future Was: sometimes the four pages come fast and I’m done in half an hour; sometimes it might take 16 hours to grind them out. This is a different kind of discipline than the discipline of planning work out well in advance. That’s not to say that Pohl didn’t plan, but I think once he got started he’d let the story and the characters go in their own direction as he got going on a project.
