LANCE, Kathryn

(1943-)

   US writer. Much of her work has consisted of non-sf tales for children, often as by Lynn Beach (see listing below). Her sf has been restricted to the Pandora sequence - Pandora's Genes (1985) and Pandora's Children (1986) - set in a post- HOLOCAUST world where pluck and luck seemset to ensure a viable future.
