More About the Author

David Bischoff has published over one hundred novels including THE SELKIE, THE JUDAS CROSS and THE GAMING MAGI TRILOGY.

"I'm so pleased to both THE DESTINY DICE and WRAITH BOARD, the first in my fantasy trilogy THE GAMING MAGI, in ebook format. I let my imagination run wild on this one. I did it before A GAME OF THRONES by George R.R. Martin and I'm thrilled it's reached a kind of cult status -- particularly amongst computer gamers and designers who've told me it influenced them."

Bischoff's other novels now available on the Kindle include TIN WOODMAN, the basis for the STAR TREK:THE NEXT GENERATION episode "Tin Man" and the STAR HOUNDS series.

"Wow," says Bischoff. "When I put THE INFINITE BATTLE out, it roared right up
the charts."

Book Two STAR HOUNDS: GALACTIC WARRIORS and Book Three STAR HOUNDS: THE MACROCOSMIC CONFLICT have just been released.

4.0 out of 5 stars Two Known Editions: Green and Red, February 10, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: War Games (Mass Market Paperback)
There are two editions of this novelization. The version with the green title as pictured is the original. An alternate version with a red title was produced for the Science Fiction Book Club (as noted on back cover) and has alterations removing references to drugs or altering dialogue to make it about something else (e.g. the conversation between the missile silo operators), though both editions include a bit at the end of chapter 3 about David Lightman reading a shoplifted copy of a another book by David Bischoff, Day of the Dragonstar.

I misplaced my censored copy years ago. I'd appreciate it if sellers would note which edition they have as I would like to reacquire that copy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader, September 3, 2007
This review is from: War Games (Mass Market Paperback)
The book of the movie. Completely forgettable, neither good nor bad, but a pretty average example of the genre.

A computer cracker kid gets into trouble when he gets into some military systems and starts a computer system thinking that world war is a game or simulation that it must win.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the books that made me want to become a writer, July 11, 2006
By 
Joe Hutsko (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: War Games (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved the movie, then found the book, and read it, and enjoyed it, without, then, knowing what a novelization was, or is. It didn't matter. David Bischoff's storytelling grabbed me, made me relate to the kid in the book, and all these years later my next novel gets some encouragement from that experience. Thank you, David, you did good. And you still are.
