Crew
Continued from Page 9
Crew. The choice must have been
difficult, because songs like“S & M,”
“Do Wab Diddy” and “One and One”
from the second album as well as
selections from the third album are
considered classic by some 2 Live
Crew fans.
From the most recent album,
“Sports Weekend (As Nasty As They
Wanna Be Part II),” comes “Some
Hot Head” and two other titles. Al
though good songs, these tracks don’t
bring the nostalgia of the previous
ones.
Of the new tracks, only “We Like
to Chill” shouldn’t have been in
eluded. “The Splack Shop” is a type
of sequel to an earlier 2 Live Crew
tune with lots of sex rhymes.
“Boyz With Da Bass” is a surpris
ingly good non-sex track.
Fresh Kid Ice says, “That’s right
y’all, you heard it ‘cause we said it/
and if they can read, in the magazines
you read it/Aboul who?/You know
the crew/first out the pack/and the
first to put the bass on the 24 track.”
“The 2 LivcCrew’s Greatest Hits”
is a very good sample of the group’s
style from their origin to the present
day. For fans of the group, this should
be a sure buy.

Sci-fi sequel thrills readers
Resnick masters
‘future history’
style in ‘Oracle’
“Oracle”
Mike Resnick
Ace Science Fiction
By Sam S. Kepfield
Staff Reporter___
Sooner or later, any science fiction
writer worth his salt attempts to craft
a large image of “future history”
by creating worlds, institutions and
characters that appear in more than
one work.
Robert Heinlcin had his “future
-history” cot lectetfTn "The Past
Through Tomorrow” in 1975. Isaac
Asimov had his Foundation era, tying
it in with his robots stories. And Larry
Niven created “Known Space.”
Add Mike Resnick to the list.
“Oracle” is the sequel to last year ’s
“Soothsayer,” and Resnick hints in
the prologue and the ending that there
will be a third book.
Resnick’s universe began in “Birth
right: The Book of Man” in 1982,
continued in his critically acclaimed
“Santiago” in 1986 and has showed
up in several other stories and novels.
His vision of the future is part John
Ford western, part Raymond Chan
dler novel, populated with bounty
hunters, cold-blooded killers who go
by pseudonyms, super-secret govern
ment operatives and a host of shady
characters. It is a thoroughly enjoy
able mix.
“Oracle” details the hunt, by three
men, for Penelope Bailey. Fourteen
~years~S2fItefr$he escaped from the
clutches of government and bounty
hunters alikeand later single-handedly
fended off a star fleet.
What makes her worth all this
trouble is her gift of precognition,
being able to see different futures and
alter the outcome of events by choos
ing which line the future will take.
She is holed up on the planet Ha
des, and the government has sent one
man to extract her, another to kill her.
There’s one catch, though. She’s
being held prisoner, sonnchow, by the
Lorhn, or the Blue Devils.
The question is, does she want to
escape? Better yet, ought she be al
lowed to, considering her powers?
“Oracle” is a choice addition to
any science fiction library. After fin
ishing this book, readers will want to
buy more of Resnick.
