I've just finished Artifact and I was curious, How much of FPW is in this book? Did he just help with the story? Was any of the printed book in his words? I'm curious because it wasn't his style of writing I thought. If anyone has any info on the making of this book I would appreciate it.

It's been a while since I read it, but from memory, I think there were about half a dozen chapters that The Man wrote. I found them quite easy to spot; his writing stood out from the rest.
I don't remember exactly which chapters were his though. Perhaps someone with a better memory than me will jump in!

I might have posted this somewhere else.

Artifact was Janet Berliner's project. I'd done a story for her David Copperfield anthology, so she asked me in on this. I thought five authors was at least three too many but I agreed.

I wrote chaps 1-5, and much of the finale. Since Matt and I are both SCUBA enthusiasts, we did the underwater chapters. Janet did the final polish to try to smooth over the stylistic differences.

Note: For the Vegas casino I went for high-concept design: a tall, United Nations-style slab with the front end of a 747 protruding from one side and the tail assembly from the other.

Then 9/11 happened and that didn't seem so cool anymore.

Thanks for the information. I did like the book, especially the underwater parts. I wish we could have explored the underwater cavern a little more, but when air is running out, you got to go! I'm on to Dydeetown World!
