Excerpt from Issue Number 3

From Tony Wynn: "The fantastic cover drawing was done by Becky Eisenhuth who was asking me if it was good enough to use in RECONNAISSANCE. Need she even ask... Great job, Rebecca! This edition of RECONNAISSANCE is really being helped by YOU, the readers. Thanks to Rebecca Eisenhuth, Virgina Turpin, Carsten Andresen and others, this issue is going to be our very best yet! Rebecca's contribution is the lovely cover drawing and poem. Virginia sent in "ION STORM" a [[Space: 1999] story, and Carsten Andresen sent us the War Games Episode Analysis. So... this is it! Dig in and enjoy this issue!"
