Looking for the story "Bomb Run"

October 14, 2009 6:46 PM

In the early 1980s, Starlog magazine ran a column called Quest that featured readers' artistic submissions. To this day, I still recall a story called "Bomb Run," which dealt with an Enola Gay-style bombing of an alien planet. Did anyone else read this story, and if so, do you know where can I find it online or at least learn the author's name?

Best answer: It took a little hunting, but I found the issue of Starlog in which "Bomb Run" appears. (What can I tell you, I'm a collector. ). It's Starlog No. 45, from April 1981.

"Bomb Run" was written by Phil Yahnke. Unfortunately, I can't find anything on the writer from a quick Google search online, but you may have more luck. If you don't, feel free to send me a mefiMail... I could likely transcribe or scan the story (it's very short).
