Powered battle armor has been around as a SF story -- and videogame -- notion waaaay before She ever got to it in Rimrunners.

I started a thread on alt.games.starsiege.tribes back in 1999 asking for sci-fi that used powered armor. I cited Rimrunners and Heinlein's Starship Troopers as the two I was aware of, and others chimed in with a bunch more.

Sometimes I wish Herself would change to using a conventional blog tool so I could subscribe to the feed instead of having to haunt that page for days without getting anything for it ;-)
Also, this would place the latest notes on top of the page, which would be a convenience.

Oh well, you can't have everything!

Herself's latest announcements, made last weekend at MisCon 22:


1) Cyteen II's galleys have not been received yet.

2) Part of Cyteen II's publication delay: DAW is planning extra publicity efforts.

3) No publication date yet for Foreigner #10: Conspirator.

4) There *may* be a Cyteen III someday.

The MisCon 22 report is finished (MEETPOINT STATION). It contains lots of :cherryh: doings.

(Because many edits have been made, you may wish to re-read the thread if you have already started it.)

powered armor? I really think the 'original award' goes to


Homer.


Odysseus met a man of iron and outwitted him, in the Odyssey.
