Credit where credit is due dept.:
_A Fire Upon the Deep_ was written by Vernor Vinge, not Jack Vance.
Vinge has also written several other novels that would make good settings
for games: _The Peace War_ and its sequel _Marooned in Realtime_ and
_The Witling_. His short story "True Names" (collected in _True Names
and Other Dangers_) is one of the best pieces of cyberpunk fiction I've
ever read.
