The editor's note reads: --<cut>-- a note from the editor... DON'T PUT THIS BOOK DOWN ...until you have read the the introductions by Poul Anderson, Larry Niven, and Jerry Pournelle. Seldom has such a book received such high and unsolicited praise from masters of the genre. Never in my experience as an editor have I been surrounded by some of the people I respect most in the field and been told in no uncertain terms that it is my _duty_ to bring a book before the public. Given my respect bordering on awe for the persons involved, I agreed. I didn't _really_ think they would break both my arms if I refused. Still, this was a first for me; generally I prefer to read a book before making such a commitment -- and I did indeed read it as soon as possible. Within a few pages my duty has become my pleasure, then a sheer treat, then mind-boggled delight... followed at the end by a wistful sadness that never again would I come all-unawares on a book called "Silverlock". Now it's your turn. Lucky you. Jim Baen. --<cut>-- As I know some of you have been diligently searching for a copy (its currently out of print), I am prepared to loan this copy out. You pay postage to and from California, and guarantee that it will be returned to me within a month and in the same condition it left here... -- J C Lawrence Internet: claw#null,net ----------(*) Internet: coder#ibm,net ...Honourary Member of Clan McFud -- Teamer's Avenging Monolith... </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00630" HREF="msg00630.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] BOOK: Myer's Silverlock</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Adam Wiggins <nightfall#user1,inficad.com></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00566.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Unique items</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00568.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Unique items</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00577.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] BOOK: Myer's Silverlock</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00630.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] BOOK: Myer's Silverlock</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00567"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00567"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: [MUD-Dev] Net protocols for MUDing (was: Moore's Law sucks)</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00766" HREF="msg00766.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Net protocols for MUDing (was: Moore's Law sucks)</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Thu 19 Mar 1998, 20:22 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00645" HREF="msg00645.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Net protocols for MUDing (was: Moore's Law sucks)</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Sat 28 Feb 1998, 18:04 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00650" HREF="msg00650.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Net protocols for MUDing (was: Moore's Law sucks)</A></strong>, Vadim Tkachenko <a href="mailto:vadimt#4cs,com">vadimt#4cs,com</a>, Sat 28 Feb 1998, 22:40 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00577" HREF="msg00577.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] BOOK: Myer's Silverlock</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Tue 24 Feb 1998, 09:30 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00567" HREF="msg00567.html">BOOK: Myer's Silverlock</A></strong>, coder <a href="mailto:coder#ibm,net">coder#ibm,net</a>, Mon 23 Feb 1998, 19:43 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00630" HREF="msg00630.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] BOOK: Myer's Silverlock</A></strong>, Adam Wiggins <a href="mailto:nightfall#user1,inficad.com">nightfall#user1,inficad.com</a>, Fri 27 Feb 1998, 23:33 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00560" HREF="msg00560.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The MLI Project</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Mon 23 Feb 1998, 18:20 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00572" HREF="msg00572.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The MLI Project</A></strong>, Ling <a href="mailto:K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk">K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk</a>, Tue 24 Feb 1998, 06:34 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00573" HREF="msg00573.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The MLI Project</A></strong>, Andrew C.M.
