Speaking of "The Ungoverned", I've been looking for it, can't find it in libraries, Amazon, or Bibliofind, so I'm thinking that it was in a collection? Does anyone know which?
It's in one of the two paperback collections of Vinge's short stories and novellas, either in "Threats and Other Promises" or "True Names and Other Dangers." Both are out of print. I have both, but not in locations known to me as I write, so I can't check which one has "The Ungoverned."
I checked. "The Ungoverned" is in "True Names and Other Dangers." However, one should buy either or both of these as they are found.
There's also a very scarce compilation of "The Peace War" and "Marooned in Realtime" which is called "Across Realtime." It contains "The Ungoverned" in between the two novels. Good luck in finding it, though.
I believe the Sunnyvale Public Library has a copy. IIRC that's where I checked it out--but returned it when I noticed that it seemed to be just Peace War and Marooned together in one book. -- A quote from Petro's Archives: ********************************************** Sometimes it is said that man can not be trusted with the government of himself.
