I uaed the information you put on a wiki page to creat a publication entry for. In this way the book is searchable and included in our actual database. This is the best way to enter information about works of speculative fiction. See the links above, or Help:Getting Started.

If you have a copy of the book, please check the publication record linked above, and corect any errors or fill in any missing information, such as the name of the cover artist. Once it is correct, please verify the book to indicate to others that the entry has been checked agaisnt the actual book. See Help:How to verify data for more information.

Creating the publication record automatically created an author record, at. If you have additional information about this author, you can add it to our database. To do this, go to the author record (linked above), click "Author Data", fill in any fields you have info for, and click "Submit data".

A 919157 was also created, and it is where I polaced the synopsis you provided, edited down a bit. We do not have wiki pages about individual books or authors in our main namespace. Pages with biographical information about authors are in the "Bio" namespace, such as Bio:Thomas Wm. Hamilton.

Thank you, and again welcome to the ISFDB. We look forward to your future contributions. -DES Talk 20:34, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
