I’m still confused how he got Ben Bova to confirm his manuscript. And what about the fact he has several books published? Did he scam his way into these contracts? Seems like a lot of effort to market them–and it obviously got him into the right places, (Locus for one) until it was uncovered. Sad to see so many honest writers trying to go the honest route to publishing, and someone come along and get the deals and exposure just by having audacity and a bad heart.
