MURDOCK, M(elinda) S(eabrooke)

(1947-)

   US writer who began writing sf with a STAR TREK tie, Web of the Romulans * (1983), and who later continued in much the same vein with her BUCK ROGERS sequence: Rebellion 2456 * (1989), Hammer of Mars * (1989), Armageddon Off Vesta * (1989) and Prime Squared * (1990). In between, MSM composed a SPACE-OPERA series of her own - Vendetta (1987) and Dynteryx (1988) - but this did little to modify a sense that her use of theconventions of 1980s adventure sf, though professional, lacked a personal touch.
