4 Quotations from Adam-Troy Castro
| Aldebaranian adj. | 1995 Just a Couple of Extinct Aliens Riding Around in a Limo in Science Fiction Age Jan. 41 Vossoff simply ignored it and watched a spellbindingly bad in-flight movie made by some misguided alien producers who had thought they could duplicate an old-fashioned terran Western using an all extraterrestrial cast.

It has given her blockish features a bright and metallic gold tint. |
| space cruiser n. | 1997 Just a Couple… in Science Fiction Age Mar. 42/1 He stood on the gleaming control decks of Nimmitz’s brand-new top of the line space cruiser, immobilized by an automatic ship’s security stasis field, threatening bloody revenge at the imbecilic ex-partner smiling at him from the opposite side of the control room. |
