Mike Resnick has been doing this for years. The most common and best answer is, "it's fun!" It takes a special type of writer to write books that are interesting and fun to read. To those of us who love reading, we are hard put at times to explain why we read what we read. It does not promise to be a tranquil summer. So the battle lines are drawn: Roosevelt and Geronimo against the most powerful of the medicine men, a supernatural creature that seemingly nothing can harm and Holliday against the man with more credited kills than any gunfighter in history. And War Bonnet has enlisted the master shootist John Wesley Hardin. In response, they have created a huge, monstrous medicine man named War Bonnet, whose function is to kill Roosevelt and Geronimo and keep the United States east of the river forever. The various tribes know that Geronimo is willing to end the spell that has kept the United States from expanding west of the Mississippi. The time the great chief has predicted has come, the one white man with whom he’s willing to treat has crossed the Mississippi and is heading to Tombstone-a young man named Theodore Roosevelt. The consumptive Doc Holliday is preparing to await his end in a sanitarium in Leadville, Colorado, when the medicine man Geronimo enlists him on a mission. His very first novels were published in the 1960s, during a time when he was using the name Michael D. He got back into genre fiction during the 1980s when he wrote for “Battlestar Galactica” and published “Birthright,” the first of the “Far Future History” series of novels. Soon after, he began publishing articles and in 1965 published the “Forgotten Sea of Mars.” In 1967, he made his novel writing debut when he published “The Goddess of Ganymede.” Following the publishing of his second novel, he took a break from genre publishing and went on to write pornographic novels using a variety of pseudonyms.ĭuring this time, he bred collies and raced horses in addition to writing columns on the subject. The one thing that would significantly change the course of his life was when he discovered the fanzine “ERB-dom,” which was focused on the fiction of Edgar Rice Burroughs. It was at university that he met Carol when they bonded over their love for the series Buck Rogers. The author was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1942 and went to the Chicago based Highland Park High School, before proceeding to the University of Chicago. Resnick is a mystery, thriller, horror, fantasy, and science fiction author who has the most awards for short science fiction.
