Idema
I didnt realize that was him on the front cover of TFD until a month or so ago and then saw his photo not once but several times in the book itself...
I do get the impression he had an enourmous influence on the novel as he keeps popping up throughout the novel doing great works of crusade, which I find hard to believe. I am also very disappointed with Random house for their principles of the book, rather than sticking to facts of the whole operation as opposed to creating and then adding to the fantasy of JKI.
One does question the integrity of the said Random house staff who allowed such a thing to happen but....ignoring the bull**** from JKI, it was a great insight into how well the SF did and a better understanding of how difficult their task was.
