SAM BOONE'S TEACUP CONUNDRUM yet another part of the early years of SAM BOONE as he finds his calling. This story was sparked by a remark by David Powers on the Compuserve SF forum shortly after < strong >Rational Choice appeared.

The story takes place immediately after the events of Rational Choice and was originally scripted to take place in DisneyWorld. When this hit Analog the lawyers said there might be a problem with satirizing anything related to Disneyworld, so Stan suggested the events could take place in Orlando, but in a similar theme park of the future. There are some familiar characters here and you should enjoy this one. To see the aliens in all of the Sam Boone stories, plus the new ones in TEACUP, look at my list of Sam's alien acquaintences.
