Maggers Wrote:Another connection! Woo hoo! I love finding these links.
I just finished rereading "Implant." Dr. John VanDuyne is referred to briefly as the President's personal physician. He doesn't make an appearance; it's just a reference.
I'm now rereading "Deep as the Marrow." The first sentence is out of the mouth of the President's personal physician, Dr. John VanDuyne, a major character in this novel.

charred circular area where the "Otherness" mechanism was activated by the Prather gang.

P.S. Incidently, Poppy is probably my all time favorite FPW character.

A while ago (on the old board) I mentioned that the name Emmerz Fent from Healer is similar to the name Emmett Fenton from The Select. Both of these people were the writers of books based within the world of The Man's books. Emmerz Fent wrote The Healer: Man & Myth and Emmett Fenton wrote American Medical Schools In Perspective.
FPW responded that the two people are supposedly related in a very distant way. I can't remember exactly, maybe The Man can confirm.
Hopefully this is useful to your compendium compiling!

BTW, folks -- how's the compendium coming?
