GREELEY, Andrew M(oran)
(1928-)
   US Roman Catholic priest and writer, several of whose books have been nonfiction texts on matters of faith; among the rest are detective novels (sometimes with paranormal elements) and some fantasy and sf, beginning with Nora Maeve and Sebi (1976 chap), a short fantasy tale, and The Magic Cup (1979), a fantasy set in medieval Ireland. God Game (1986)depicts a priest introduced by COMPUTER to a fantasy GAME-WORLD. The Final Planet (1987) features the Irish Catholic captain of a desperatelywandering starship called Iona from the planet Tara, who must descend to a very secular planet to see if colonists are admissible, almost (but never quite) bedding a female scientist en passant. Angel Fire (1988) is a SCIENCE-FANTASY novel about an Irish-descended Nobel Prize-winningscientist - he has been honoured for the already discredited "punctuated equilibrium" theory of EVOLUTION - blessed with a literal guardian angel, who protects him very well. Sacred Visions (anth 1991) ed with Michael CASSUTT (and Martin H. GREENBERG anon) assembles a wide range of storiesabout RELIGION.
