*note: The title of the 1947 novelette is The Flames according to Daniel J.Geduld or just Flames according to R.C.Essex -- can anyone clarify this? Plus, there's been a posthumous publication of an early unpublished manuscript which prefigured Star Maker -- could someone send me the title and details? Any help in this would be appreciated. --Henry W.Targowski.
