In Response To: Starhammer (Bachus)

: While searching for info on the book "Starhammer" by Christopher
: Rowley (mentioned in the new Jason Jones interview) I came across this
: page: http://leighkimmelbookstore.bizhosting.com/blyb/starhammer.html

: It's a general overview of the book (with hefty spoilers) and I found this
: particularly interesting: "A billion or so years ago Baraf was a wet
: jungle world, the home of a gentle froglike race of philosophers called
: the Wisdom Wishing. But they were menaced by the parasitic Vang, a
: terrible race that regarded all other organisms as either host or food. In
: a desperate attempt to protect themselves, the Wisdom folk built a device
: which imploded stars and caused them to go nova.

: "However the Vang had already landed on their homeworld by the time they
: could put the device to work, so their entire civilization was doomed.
: They used their entire sun as reaction mass for some kind of time machine,
: throwing themselves into the unimaginable future where they hoped to find
: the Vang destroyed. The Starhammer continued to work after they were gone,
: destroying the suns of the Vang worlds."

: Yet another book that could have potentially inspired Marathon. Of course,
: knowing my luck everyone here already knows about it, once again making me
: look like a fool for not reading the Story Page/Forum every single day.

Hmmm... this is more like the inspiration for the Halo story. Vang = Flood, Starhammer = Halo, Wisdom folk = Humans.

Just a thought.

Cheers
Hamish
