   He actually published that one at Doubleday, who seem to've purged it of   
   much Goulartery, so that it almost reads like straight SF.   
      
   Same with his novelization of _ Capricorn One _ too, but that was a

   His _ After Things Fell Apart _ seems close to prophetic at times.   
   But then so does the fourth season of _ Lexx _.
