Another one of these that most shops don't carry because Diamond tossed Bluewater? I used to have a battered copy of a Sci Fi book from Del Rey that has almost the same premise by a pulp era SF writer that Lester Del Rey got to come back to do a few books for Del Rey.Is Benton Hawkes also an accomplished fencer/ex Navy/beautiful wife etc.. A thousand fake donuts to the person who could come up with the name of the writer and character I'm trying to remember in connection with this Shatner announcement.
