This
website began as a single project, a place to compile and display
the growing body of notes I was gathering for my Rim Worlds Concordance
Project. A. Bertram Chandler is one of my favorite authors and
he devoted the majority of his work to stories about, and characters
who lived on and near, the Rim Worlds - the last frontier of the
galaxy.
The
Rim Worlds universe is as rich and detailed as any other science
fiction author's worlds, and much more so than most. I thought
it a shame that as time progressed this author and his works were
being forgotten. My answer was to begin work on a concordance
of the Rim, a database gleaned from more than twenty novels, several
collections and numerous short stories.
The
Concordance pages contain a (non searchable) compilation of the
notes I've gathered so far, organized in a variety of different
ways that make it relatively easy to learn about the planets,
ships, people and places on the Rim.
The
bibliography pages contain various organizations of Chandler's
works and serve as supplements to the comprehensive bibliography
that can be found on David Kelleher's official authors site -
www.BertramChandler.com.
David maintains an excellent site and has been a wonderful friend
and resource.
The
Rim Worlds section contains bits and pieces of information about
the Rim that are not convienently located elsewhere. The Articles
section contains several (mostly unfinished) pieces I've written
on a variety of Rim Worlds and Chandler related topics.
The
A. Bertram Chandler store is more of a search assistant for those
who may be looking for Chandler's works.
The
Links section contains a huge number of links that are at least
parenthetically related to Chandler, his characters or the Rim
Worlds.
The
Support section is my 'tip jar'.
