Stubbs, the man behind the pseudonym, this book brings you remembrances
by friends and colleagues, a previously uncollected Hal Clement short
story, an original story by Walter Hunt, an interview by Darrell
Schweitzer, a reminiscence by his widow, Mary Stubbs, and many reminders
of the many ways he affected the lives of fans, students, and fellow
writers.
