Gee, I thought I was Harlan Ellison…
Seriously, though, I guess this sounds about right. Well, apart from the tech. And the action. And, er, the sales numbers:
I am:
Robert A. Heinlein
Beginning with technological action stories and progressing to epics with religious overtones, this take-no-prisoners writer racked up some huge sales numbers.
Quite interesting - it said I am "Hal Clement" - and I remember reading his "Mission of Gravity" - twice! - when I was in high school. It was one of my favourite books.

ReplyDeleteDamn. I'm E. E. "Doc" Smith. And I've never read a word by him, so I don't know if that's good or bad....
ReplyDeleteYeah - I can see you as either Ellison or Heinlein. There seem to be tendencies in both those directions. ;-)
Heinlein: supporter of McCarthyism, hawk on 'Nam, lover of libertarianism/free market at cost, pro-nukes, Reaganite, et al.
ReplyDeleteYup, that's Feser
(and RAH not a xtian, for that matter)
