Notes: Three linked Tom Tyson stories - "Marmodesse", "The Library" and "First Matter" - were originally written to form a Tyson novel, "Malgre", but Dowling abandoned this idea. Two of the stories have been published elsewhere - an abridged edition of "Marmodesse" appeared in "Omega Science Digest" Jan/Feb 1987). "The Library" was published in Keith Stevenson, ed, "X-6", coeur de lion publishing (2009) and in Dowling's collection "Amberjack" (2010). "First Matter" remains unpublished. "Marmodesse" and "The Library" will be reprinted in "The Complete Rynosseros".
