carbon-based lifeform to beam in since December 12, 1997.
Welcome to my page of Science Fiction links. While I do not intend for this to be a comprehensive list, I will have many things that I think are of interest to the Science Fiction fan, covering everything
from books and movies, to radio and writing. I will be updating this sight as much as my time allows, so check back often. I hope you enjoy it!
GRENDEL'S FEATURED SITE
Ramjet the space dog is always busy sniffing out cool sights for me. This time he dug up Harlan Ellison's official website. One of the most controversial writers, Ellison is the author of such famous tales as "A Boy and His Dog," "Shatterday," and "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream."
This fan-maintained site has pictures and writings of Mr. Ellison.

Also for you language buffs, The Darmok Dictionary, featuring the aliens from that wonderful ST:TNG episode "Darmok."
