I read Burning Bright recently, and I wondered if anybody noticed this....
The powerplant that gets nuked is at the corner of Cermak Rd. and Racine (?).
From looking at the title page of any FASA book, FASA's offices are at 1100 W.
Cermak. Coincidence? Or is FASA really an insect hive ;-) ?

Just think of the implications. :-)

They can see the Ground Zero of the Cermak blast from their offices, IIRC.
No coincidence, and we haven't been able to get close enough to determine
whether or not it is an insect hive....

Didn't that one guy from the ED list (David Henry?) visit FASA's offices a
while before the ED magic book came out? He might be a valuable source of
information here... *grin*

ahhh yes now it all makes sense...the close relations between fellow
workers...the endless devotion to the "wife" (read queen)...I can't believe
we have been so blind.

You never know, Gurth. He may have been co-opted:) In fact, I doubt any
hive would let anyone out alive, willingly anyway (unless they're wasps:)
