We offer a special welcome to visitors to this site who have come to us via Jim Kelly's On the Net column for Asimov's magazine for March 2003. We hope you'll find some useful information here about our friend, science fiction author Robert Reed on the separate site dedicated to him and his works. We also hope you'll take the time to check us out. We've been around as a regional club, promoting science fiction and fantasy since 1974. We've hosted (or helped to host) a dozen or more mid-size conventions from the 1990s to the present in the Lincoln/Omaha NE area. Take a tour through our site, which we continually update. We'd love to hear from you, if you've got any comments about www.starbaseandromeda.com, or any additional Robert Reed information to share. You can contact us by e-mail, or by snailmail at the address on this page.
