Introduction 3 — Allan Cole
It was with a great deal of pleasure and just a modicum of pride when I learned that a wise editor, of obviously impeccable taste, was publishing Brad Torgersen’s first short story compilation.
Pleasure, because I have been following Brad’s fast rising star for some time now—realizing with much delight that I’d stumbled upon a young “natural.”
A modicum of pride, because Brad has named me—and my Sten series—as being one of the authors who influenced him.
He is an award winning writer, and deservedly so. We all expect to see many more rewards in the coming years.
I’m only one of many SF veterans who see an exceptionally bright literary future for Brad. And as a reader, I look forward to filling a whole shelf in my library with the works of Brad Torgersen.
