Cloned?

     Here's SF writer, gun collector, sword collector H. Beam Piper.
     Now take a look at some pictures of SF writer, gun collector, swordsmith Michael Z. Williamson

     Mind you, they don't write that much alike despite sharing several themes and a certain similarity of outlook, and Mr. Williamson is considerably more married* than the late Mr. Piper ever was.  But still...!  One suspects a covert government lab, possibly run by someone who was hoping for yet another Little Fuzzy sequel -- and got metal-poor lizards instead.

    Fuzzy: I'm really liking the bio. Except for the end. The ending sucks.

    (Ordered my own copy, even. Review coming.)
