GODSPEED, VONDA N. MCINTYRE...


Your contributions to science-fiction literature are supreme and astonishing. From "Barbary"; "The Exile Waiting"; "Fireflood and Other Stories"; "The Moon and the Sun" (filmed as "The King's Daughter"); "Of Mist, and Grass, and Sand"; "Superluminal"; "Star Wars: the Crystal Star"; "The Starfarers Saga" and the healing "Dreamsnake", you engaged readers with identifiable personas within sensational scenarios. 


You further enhanced the literary tapestry by creating the morphing power of Biocontrol and those unique, aquatic Divers: captivating components that resurfaced throughout your works. 


For Trekkies, you were a blessing of the highest order, giving first names to Sulu (Hikaru) and Uhura (Nyota) and penning the popular "Entropy Effect", "Enterprise: the First Adventure", as well as the acclaimed novelizations for "Star Trek II - IV", where you injected greater depth and characterization into the sprawling "Genesis" trilogy. 


Your thought-provoking brilliance will continue to guide and inspire, Ms. McIntyre, for which a legion of starry-eyed students will be boundlessly thankful.
