Serious science fiction comes to life in these three fascinating simulation games from SPI. All three games use the completely original “universe” as their back- ground. Simulation games offer a unique science-fiction experience—as you play the game you create a “future history" that turns out differently every time! This is participatory science fiction you don’t just read it—you actually do it!

She loved it, asked Dick to elongate ‘by 10,000 words, and the world looked bright for what was then Uiled tentatively The New Alabama Blues. When it came time for A, DV (o be published, however, Dell got nervous. With the pub ication ofthe novella (sled With the Benttin Boomer Boys on Little Old New Alabama), Dell was afraid of the competition this slightly shorter edition oftheir novel would make for their own book. The question of iming couldn't be resolved: Lupoff and Dell parted ways. Afier A, DV was published, and Lupoffs novella was nominated {fora Nebula Award by the Science Fiction Writers of America, Dell ‘became interested again, and this time actually went to contract in March, 19%, Then Dell cut back its science fiction program, and Lupoff kept working while the book lay fallow at Dell. He wrote three additional short stories, making the original 38,000 words into «robust 64,000-word novel. Two ofthe three stories have, in their ‘ime, been nominated for Nebula Awards or Hugo Awards the lat ter conferred by a vote of readers of science fetion. Meanwhile, Dell ‘began publishing its backlog of science fiction inventory. Nobody new quite how tohandle the book. Should it be a collection of re lated tales? A novel? Something else? Finally, over ten years after the original conception, and fully four years after contract, having run through three Dell SF editors ‘and having outlasted seven other novels writen by Dick Lupoff since he penned the original proposal for what would eventually be- ‘come Space War Blues, the novel willbe published in January, 1978, Unless the world ends ina bizarre and wniimely fashion before then, the full masterpiece will be unveiled before a shocked and owiraged world.

This time, he and his military aide had been hustled through their reception at the orbiting station and loaded irectly onto the shuttle craft that was taking them to the surface of the planet, For Pineda, the only pleasure that ex- ceeded the relative solidity of the shuttle craft was the an: ticipation of setting foot on the planet itself, even though it was going to be New Alabama. He felt himself gradually relaxing, the knot in his in- testines smoothing itself out, the pressure within his head gradually diminishing, his heaving breaths becoming steadier and more relaxed, a pleasant intake of nourishing air instead of the desperate gasps provoked by his body's, irrational response to deep space conditions. He wiped his brow with a huge pocket kerchief, jammed itaway again, and turned to look at his aide. Guardsman Brigadier Foch-Giraud sat on his own couch as if posing for aan offcial portrait, his scarlet tunic gleaming and un- creased, the thread-of-gold fourragére, frogging and shoulder boards impeccable, his trousers creased to per- fection, and boots shined to an incredible luster. ‘You understand the situation below?” Pineda asked ch-Giraud. ‘Mr. Pinedla, of course’ “Well, tread lightly on this planet. There isn't another black man on the planet. They regard all blacks as brutes and fiends, their automatic enemies. You have to show them otherwise “Tunderstand, Mr, Pineda.” Leon grunted. Perhaps so, perhaps Foch-Giraud would perform admirably. Still, he wished that he had been con- sulted both on the basic strategy he was called upon to im- plement, and on the selection of his military aide. He was far from certain that Foch-Giraud made a good object les- son for N’Ala, The conversation lapsed — as it usually did with the Brig- diet. Foch-Giraud, somehow, seldom seemed to have a ‘great deal to say on any subject. A dialog with him tended {quickly to degenerate into labored speech on one side and dull inattention on the other. It was a relief when the shuttle skidded to rest on a long, red-dirt runway at the New Alabama Spacerine Fort Sealy Mae, to debark and look around for N’Loozy'’s ambassador to N’Alabama.
