With a little more drive and ambition, Chuck Poulson might well have found himself serving as first officer aboard a hyper liner. By the same token, if Cadet Penelope Parker had accepted the amorous advances of the notorious Commander Dickens, she might well have been posted to the Cromwell, the latest Type 53 destroyer.

He does churn out works. Much of his output is … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – William Couper
