Russell Morrissey, the fellow whose EN company just bought the gaming rights to Santiago, just created this map of the “Birthright Universe”, the universe I created 29 years ago in Birthright: the Book of Man, into which I have set 32 more novels and about 20 stories, including Santiago. Personally, I love it.
About Mike
According to Locus, I am the all-time leading award winner, living or dead, for short fiction. I have won 5 Hugos (from a record 35 nominations), a Nebula, and other major awards in the USA, France, Japan, Spain, Croatia, and Poland. I'm the author of 64 novels, over 250 stories, and 2 screenplays, and the editor of 40 anthologies. My work has been translated into 25 languages.
As a fan, and from a purely aesthetic point of view, I love is as well…but as an astronomer with an interest in politics, I think that those borders are just entirely too neat, and the scales are entirely unrealistic. It is only a nitpick, of course…:)
Since I didn’t draw it, I am not resposible for errors an astronomer finds. But I think it’s lovely.
