Reactions and Reviews

Not a zine [1] but a series of stories by Mary D. Bloemker and Deborah M. Walsh found in B7 Complex. The storyline is an alternative universe where Avon has a telepathic dream that allows him to avoid B7 disasters/trage-

dies starting on the London. Story locations: The Ultimate Resurrection Story, B7C #3 & 8; Point of Departure, B7C #4 & 8; Diverging Pathways & On Approval, B7C #8; Ground Zero, B7C #9; and finally, Time is a Weapon, B7C #10. While B7

Complexes are out of print, the Avon's 8 stories make them worth searching for at used zine tables. [2]
