635.0. "Staton's From the Legend of Biel" by GUCCI::BENSON (Bare and no Hair) Wed Jun 15 1988 02:45

    Help!
    
    Who wrote 'From the Legend of Biel'?
    
    I can hardly believe it myself, but I lent my only copy out, never
    to return.
    
    Think the author's name began with 'B'
    
    Thanks,
    Jay

635.1Mary StatonAKOV11::BOYAJIANMonsters from the IdWed Jun 15 1988 04:457
    It was the first in the second series of Ace Science Fiction Specials,
    issued in the mid-70's.
    
    Good luck in finding another copy. That particular series of Specials
    are not all that common.

     Did Mary Staton write anything after that?
635.3CHOVAX::YOUNGA Savage Horde is Out for Blood ... Sat Jun 18 1988 01:508
    Actually I thought it was called "From the legend of Baal."
    
    I have a copy around somewhere.  I thought it was one of the worst
    storys I have ever read (right up there with Dhalgren as a case
    against heavy drug use), so you could probably talk me out of mine
    if I can find it.  I think the front cover might be lost though.

635.4Fast breaking update...CHOVAX::YOUNGA Savage Horde is Out for Blood ... Sat Jun 18 1988 01:545
    Wotta ya know!  It was right here in front of me.
    
    The whole thing is intact after all (though pretty worn).  Any takers?

    of.

    Barry,
    
    By the way, how did it get so worn, being the second worst story
    you've ever read?

635.8Do NOT try to return it...CHOVAX::YOUNG_186000mps, Its not Just a Good Idea.Tue Jun 28 1988 03:376
635.9Too Impulsive ...GUCCI::BENSONBare and no HairMon Jul 04 1988 10:118
    Barry,
    
    Forgive me ... I should have inquired about the protocol for borrowing
    a book since there may be an expense involved.  How can I obtain
    'Biel' from you?
    
    Regards,
    Jay
