Long, James

(1949-    ) UK author under his own name of Ties to the Battletech universe, beginning with Battletech: Main Event (1993), and at least one Technothriller of sf interest, Game Ten (1994), in which an ancient conspiracy threatens the Near Future; and of the ELV sequence of humorous Time Travel tales, comprising ELV (1998) and ELV II (1999), both as by Nick Nielsen. Two later novels – Ferney (1998), a Time Travel fantasy, and Silence and Shadows (1998), about the Reincarnation of an ancient Saxon queen – are past-haunted as well. [JC]
