DON WISMER

Don Wismer's first science fiction novel was the hardcover Starluck, 
published by Doubleday, 1982. A few years later there was a paperback 
edition, and three additional novels came from Wismer's pen (computer, 
actually), all paperbacks from Baen Books: Warrior Planet, Planet of the 
Dead, and A Roil of Stars. All are out of print. Only the hardcover
Starluck is available from:
Don Wismer, P.O. Box 207, Kents Hill, ME 04349 for $5 plus $2 shipping/
handling.
Starluck is a young adult novel and attracted much favorable comment,
including a starred review in Booklist. The story: in the 300 suns
civilization the evil Emperor tests his subjects around high school
age to determine how lucky each may be. Persons with a high level of
luck are seen as a threat and eliminated. Our hero tests off the
scale, but before he can be killed he luckily escapes and blunders
into the company of an interstellar circus. After much adventure
he confronts the Emperor.
