Probe Question

[DantePD]

So, I was listening to a Peter David interview on a podcast from Spidermancrawlspace.com (Which I highly recommend) and he said something to the effect of "If you want to see a Star Trek writer or editor visibly shudder, mention Probe"

So, what was the problem with Probe? I'm guessing by his tone that it was just some mass clusterfuck or something...

Ooooo... that's a can of worms...

might as well get it from the source: Margaret's website.

If you ask her nicely, she will email you a copy of the "Probe" manuscript that SHE originally wrote. It's called "Music of the Spheres."

Are you sure he was talking about a book? With Marco and John in charge of things, "probe" has a whole new meaning.

 

[Allyn Gibson]

"No, not the Mind Probe!"

Actually, it's right up on her website for free. I downloaded it awhile ago, and totally forgot I had it till I was looking through my computer documents for a homework assignment yesterday

I noticed that after the post. But I got it by asking her.

Damn, I still haven't read Music of the Spheres and it's been sitting on my hard drive for five odd years now.

 

[JAG]

mine too!

Well according to Margret's site, it will be available in EBook form soon.

 

[Endymion]

That sucks, because Probe is one of my all-time favorites.

It's still a decent book. It's just Gene DeWeese's book.

It's available in eBook form now.

There's a PDF done by Todd Kogutt floating around, and I did an MS-Reader version, which you download from here.

It is available. I've reformatted it into a new RTF, PDF, PRC (Mobipocket format), and LRF (for the Sony Reader). I think on the site you have to email her.

I've corrected a few more things since I sent those in. I'm not yet done reading it. So there might be some more fixes later on. But it's a lot nicer to read then the original PDF/LIT. I do forget if I sent her a new LIT. But I can make one using the RTF from Word if need be.

You can download the LRF at http://www.mobileread.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5837&d=1190818313

The PRC at http://www.mobileread.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5836&d=1190818213

Soory. I was just going according to her site. I don't think it has been updated recently.

 

[JWolf]

It actually doesn't look like it has been updated any time recently. But I'm close to finishing the book so I'll post updated copies over on MobileRead when I am done. And I'll send in updated copies as well to Margaret. If anyone wants the most updated copies I have to be reposted over at MobileRead, just say so.

Unfortunately my site doesn't allow me to download files that big. But anyone who emails me (or takes advantage of JWolf's kind offer) will get a copy.

Later this week, I'll send you the new copies. I've been finding some little things here and there that I've been correcting and it should be good to go once I finish reading sometime this week.
