The fact it's science fiction gives you a good clue to the last word too.

     WINNER WINNER WINNER

Good for you, Frybabe.  I thought people could get it even if they didn't know the book, by seeing what the words must be, but nobody did.

Songs of Distant Earth was originally a short story.  There wasn't really enough to make a book of, so he added a whole bunch of side issues and padding.  IMHO the short story was better.

Contemporary writer. Most of this author's work is fictional, although much of it is drawn on life experiences.
