From the Author

"Taut, engaging, even occasionally reassuring . . . ."
"Taut, engaging, even occasionally reassuring, Hendrix's novel leaves readers wishing for another portion of this space-age slice of life." -- Publisher's Weekly 8/4/97, p. 72. I was glad to see this review, especially since a second novel, STANDING WAVE -- which takes place in the same universe -- will be appearing from Ace/Berkley in September 1998. LIGHTPATHS, a utopian tale of "your average libertarian-socialist small town in outer space," seems to be finding an audience, and for that I'm grateful. If this thought-experiment gets readers to ponder the delicate balance between individual freedom and social responsibility, then it will have accomplished what I hoped to achieve in writing the book. I look forward to e-mail comments from readers and will respond to the best of my ability.
