:D I think Ahruman's pronunciation is maybe a bit off – or he's swallowed a fly ...

Smivs, your googling has brought you teetering on the lip of madness: well done! Over to you.

If this is Ahruman's idea of musical piping, I'd love to see him on Sweden's Got Talent with a set of bagpipes!

The central character of a collection of short stories, he is an astronaut who once worked for NASA. He has been described variously as a pioneer, an entrepreneur, an insatiable ladies' man, and a thorough rogue - the first space cowboy, if you like. His name please!

'Push the button, pull the switch, cut the beam... make it march!' - another excellent character! But you're right, it ain't Lazarus Long!
