Shoddy Editing and a Farewell
Journal Entry: Wed Mar 19, 2008, 9:37 AM
I once remarked that the vast collection of old and cheap books my father possesses and which I read from time to time have really bad editing. There is an awful lot of typos to say the least in early 70's sci-fi books.
However, I have never bought a book which has thirty pages missing completely! And in the very exciting end of the second act when the story is being revealed in it entirety for the first time!
On a more sombre not, whilst on the subject of books, I will raise my pen in salute of Arthur C Clarke, a true legend of the sci-fi world.
If there is a book written which is better than Rendevouz with Rama I have yet to find it.

A Step Into Oblivion
Dreams of things that will never be,
Songs of thoughts only I can hear,
Leave me be, to sleep forever,
To dream my dreams,
And sing my hymns,
Of things that will never be...
I really appreciate it
Warm greets,
Kim

Besides the background of all the worlds, races, economies, factions, politics etc etc etc we are also trying to create a dedicated artwork, the artwork section is where we are looking more artists for since we could always use more skilled people. Now if you are interested to join up and see a challenging interpretation of the 40k background you should check out the following links:
Wiki Page: [link]
Forum: [link]
Just join up if you like!
Peace!
Malika
PS. I'll let you already know that we are a fan project and not a professional undertaking. Because of this we are not able to pay for our artists, we simply work together because we are fans of the 40k hobby.
