I was scanning Google Book Search (try it!) and discovered that Peter Watts drops my name in the credits of his latest novel ("Behemoth: Seppuku," page 291).

Nice birthday surprise -- and also, possibly, the Cosmos' way of telling me to WRITE MORE SCIENCE FICTION.

(In the meantime, Google allows you to read "After the Martian Apocalypse" in its entirety.)

    Mac:

    Here's some birthday advice:

    They make multi-million dollar movies based on sci-fi books and stories all the time.

    They don't do that with UFO books (the odd exception proving the rule).

    You do the math, and draw your own conclusion$...

    :-)

    Well-taken!

    BTW, I wouldn't be surprised to see Watts' "Rifters" novels adapted for the screen. They're damned good.

    WMB,

    I'd like to go both directions, fate permitting.
