Comment[edit]

I read Vol. 1 of the "Skyway" trilogy years ago; it doesn't pretend to be serious fiction, but for sheer entertainment, it is hard to beat.Excellent, engrossing story, and very imaginative--and I have been reading sci-fi for 50 years! I want to re-read it & the two following volumes but alas! the series is out if print. Someone should bring it back, along with the "Castle" series. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.92.79.239 (talk) 21:35, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Brief thought on article upgrade[edit]

I think an infobox and photo would help the article, needless to say, and some bio material with refs would give it a bump up. Jusdafax 22:34, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Dimension and Falkenstein[edit]

The page needs to be updated with descriptions of each of those series (I've added them to the bibliography). I haven't read either in years, so I can't really do it atm. Here's a cite for him having written them though: http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/d/john-dechancie/. --Stevehim (talk) 17:30, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Other books[edit]

He's written a bunch of other things as well, which I can add to the bibliography at a later time. --Stevehim (talk) 17:31, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Archival Materials update[edit]

The bot seems very concerned about my addition of The Eaton Collections holdings in the External Links section. I am a new editor who is current;ly focusing on the project of adding links to the location of author's papers on their pages. Please let me know if I am committing any errors or faux paus in the process! DrDirigible (talk) 00:03, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
