680.0. "LOOKING FOR LEINSTER!" by FLOWER::COLLINS () Fri Aug 26 1988 12:13

    I need help. Does anyone out there have a copy of, or know where
    I can get a copy of "THE WAILING ASTEROID" by Murray Leinster.
    This book was written around 1963. Send info to "FLOWER::COLLINS"
    
                                            Thanks

680.1earlier than you think ...MARKER::KALLISAnger's no replacement for reasonTue Aug 30 1988 10:4610
    _The Wailing Asteroid_ was written as a rush job in 1957-1958. 
    It was a sort of reaction to the _Sputnik_ launch, where a message
    sent from an asteroid helps stimulate a U.S. citizen to develop
    a space drive.
    
    Pretty potboilery, but not bad fun.

    Sorry; I haven't a copy.
680.2I have one, but.....SCOMAN::BOURGAULTI have a story to tell.....Wed Aug 31 1988 04:0010
    
    Are we talking about a loan, or a permanent change in
    ownership?  I ask because I have at least one copy,
    and would be willing to LOAN it out...
    
    I will check (today?) and see... I sometimes have
    multiple copies of such things.  If I have a second
    copy, we can talk about permanent changes.

680.3Anyone see the movie?SANFAN::BARRETODEThu Nov 10 1988 17:054
    As an aside, there was a B-grade movie based on the books years
    ago.  I'll be darned if I can remember the title though.
