I've finally gotten my hands on "Wyrms" (at the local library branch no less)... I must say, it was a bit 'weird' in the beginning, but has really picked up steam for me to this point. As usual OSC handles characters and moral implications like no other... Anyway, I'm wondering exactly how the title should be pronounced. I read it as , duh, 'worms', but I'm thinking that may not be correct as there is actually a reference to that ground-dweller in some of the descriptions. So is it "worms" or something else?

Finished the book... pretty darn good. Seemed a bit rushed at the end, but satisfying nonetheless.

I remember when I first read the book, it was a paperback, and the cover was loose. So, I just left it off while I read it. I never noticed who the author was. I was not a SF fan, but my wife had given me the book after she read it with a neighborhood book club. When I finished it, I decided that the author must certainly be Greek, or at the very least Greek-American. I found the cover, and was astounded to find that one of my favorite "western-americana" authors (with no known Greek background at all) had written a fine Si-Fi.

I say "Werms" (a little different from "worms.") But eeeew. That is the one OSC book I never recommend.

Your wife?
You're not a girl?
Oh, boy, guess that's one for the gender-confusion thread. Sorry.

No, I am a grey headed old Scoutmaster from the middle of the Desert. Artemisia Tridentata is the botanical name for Sage Brush.
