Brooks [Emily]) Newsgroups: net.sf-lovers Subject: A Short Story Re-Discovered (Finally!) Message-ID: <1260@akgua.UUCP> Date: Tue, 12-Feb-85 13:42:14 EST Article-I.D.: akgua.1260 Posted: Tue Feb 12 13:42:14 1985 Date-Received: Wed, 13-Feb-85 04:41:41 EST Organization: AT&T Technologies/Bell Labs, Atlanta Lines: 26 Many moons ago I requested help from this newsgroup in re-discovering the title, author, and anthology of a short story I had read when much younger (approx. 15 years ago). Imagine my disappointment when I received exactly ZERO replies! No one remembered my story! (So much for advance thanks! :-)) But, I have found it! It has been re-released in a *new* collection of short stories by Poul Anderson (I might have known he was the author) entitled "Dialogue with Darkness". The particular story I was looking for is titled "Sister Planet" and still retains the haunting anguish I remembered so well. This collection credits "Satellite", May, 1959 which is apparently a magazine. I did NOT first read this in any magazine (certainly not in 1959! I hadn't learned to read then) and will probably never know what anthology I saw it in. The collection "Dialogue with Darkness" is excellent. I recommend it to you all. These are older stories, but only a few (like "Sister Planet") have obvious discrepancies due to discoveries made since their original publication. And, no, I will not include any spoilers at all. Read and enjoy! Emily Brooks {ihnp4!}akgua!edb
