As a professional writer and sf-lover from well before Doc Smith era, I think he is the best thing that has come over the pike since "Canticle for Liebowitz" and is at least the equal of Tolkien. I realize much of this has been already said but it is worth emphasizing. I seldom buy a hard-cover sf book but I could not wait for the "Citidel of the Autarch" to come out in paperback. (Unfortunately, the last of the series though still excellent, is the least satisfying, probably because most of the mysteries are cleared up.) I hope Wolfe carries through with his New Sun and gives us some more of his fantastic universe. Bob Bibbero (Bibbero.PMSDMKT at HI-MULTICS) ---
