Edited by: Geller on 24/04/2004 07:08:09 Guys - just corrected really stupid typo on Clue 1.
It should have read Science Officer, not Science Office
Really sorry,

It is indeed Ash (from Alien)
I guess that means you're up again. We seem to be setting a trend here.

Seems to be working so far. I'll have a guess but I'm fairly doubtful about it.
Is it Takeshi Kovacs from Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan

Round 12, over in the blink of an eye....
Did you know that one, or did you Google it? I just checked "Former Envoy Sci Fi" and it was the first ten returns... I didn't check ...
Either way, congrats Geller, you are correct!

Originally by: Valisk Did you know that one, or did you Google it?
Its on my book shelf under - things to read. There are quit a few books in that category at the moment; as a matter of fact most of the books on shelves are in that category ( or the favourites category). Most books I've read have now been religated to waterproof plastic boxes in the attic. Hopefully some day I'll have enough shelf space to display everything. I've just finished reading Ender's Game (Swift's Recommendation), but I've got the other 3 books in the Ender saga to read (and then I'll probably read the Enders Shadow books). After that I was planning to read Utopia and Altered Carbon. There is also some Fredrick Phol I plan to read very soon since I've just reread Gateway and I've never read the sequels.
I was really dubious when I answered because all I know about the book is on the back cover. As a matter of fact I had to go to Amazon to check the name of the character. For some reason Google didn't occur to me.
Hmm.. just spoit my next question ... Ender is too obvious now that I've mentioned him.. will have to pick something else...
Okay, thinking about things I plan to reread reminded me of a particular series.
Question 13?, Clue 1: Wandering Jew
By the way - knowing that there is someone reading this trhread with the alias of Virgil Samms, I am now really annoyed I din't hold out for Kimball Kinnison. I can guarentee that Virgil would have got it. After all, Virgil was Kimball's great great grandfather, or at least direct line male ancestor.

Appologies to all Lensman fans for this of fuzzy thinking.
Kimball is of course Rod Kinnison's direct line decendant. Kimballs Wife Clarissa is decended from Virgil Samms. I don't know what I was thinking.

It is some time since I read it, so maybe you're after something else and I'm completely off the track. 
Edit: One of my favorite authors is banned on this board? His last name is a short form of Richard, and it also means "fat" in German.

Yeah, I started doubting my own answer shortly after I posted. I think I got caught up on the "wandering jew" part or something.

I had a look at the Amazon comments on PKD's The Divine Invasion. It sounds interesting. I'll probably keep an eye out for it.

I recommend it. But first you should read Valis, which is the first of three books in his theological "Exegesis", followed by The Divine Invasion and The Transmigration of Timothy Archer. They are not conventional sci-fi, but they raise a lot of interesting questions. PKD was a very original thinker, in my opinion.
Btw, I think I know where to find the answer for the question, as I think I have heard about the work in question, but I'm not going to google for the correct answer.
