Actually Lynn corrected me. He has read several of Atwood's novels, see above in
the thread.

You will find that I lied. She has in fact written eight Perry Rhodan novels.

I remembered that Lynn McGuire had posted here about reading Oryx and Crake,
while I was conducting a, fortunately unsuccessful, search to validate your claim.
Fortunately, because I think my head might have exploded.

Still lying ! Only good Germans are allowed to write any of the 4,000+
Perry Rhodan novels. I won't comment about the translators.

You didn't know?

Her birth name was Margarethe Von Atwald-Schwarzwald. They anglicized it
in 1940. Ask her cousin, Mark Von Atwald-Schwarwald, who used to post
here.

Accolades to Ackermans' admirable translation, regardless of its flaws.

In the spirit of "never let a rasw homage to Perry Rhodan go to waste"
herein lies a little more of the story...

Imagine galaxies as islands, starkly separated by space's vast void. The
Masters of the Island Andromeda strive to keep Milky Way undesirables in
their place, at an astronomical arm's length away, so to speak. To
achieve their aims, they devise traps, such as der Planet Horror:

The author of Perry Rhodan 206 is credited as Kurt Mahr. Is this supposed
to be Margaret Atwood's pen name?

So much for that; his real name is Klaus Mann, and Wikipedia has a photo.

The Ackermans were freaking awesome on their German to English
translations. Even though they tried to invent weird future slang words
for the 2040s.

I was talking about the other translators.

That is not Margaret Atwood.

And Kurt Mahr wrote many of the Perry Rhodans.
