It claims to be an original publication, but I did wonder if it was recycled older material.

I'm coming to believe it was authored by Bob but isn't listed AFAI can find. The themes he used in Recon-Man: - matriarchal - time-travel (of sorts) - making bacon via a mental device - rolling-road - all fit into the story I look for. Parts missing: - women create playmen (for 'lovemake'(?) and sustenance) - can recycle them if displeased or punish with a 'goad.' Have you come across such a story?LeMacabrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813488623815038454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257559067333970126.post-80597957359408884542018-02-10T07:39:06.554-08:002018-02-10T07:39:06.554-08:00That's the way it seems to me, for sure!That's the way it seems to me, for sure!Rich Hortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659613066689174738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257559067333970126.post-42918713596148277692018-02-09T17:04:59.814-08:002018-02-09T17:04:59.814-08:00I've found Wilson Tucker to be an uneven write...I've found Wilson Tucker to be an uneven writer.
