(1953-    ) US author and Game designer, often as Bob Charrette. He co-designed the sf Role Playing Games Aftermath (1981) – with a Post-Holocaust setting – and Shadowrun (1989). His fiction consists mostly of sf and fantasy Ties, including game novelizations for the Battletech (1984) franchise and his own Shadowrun. The Artos sequence, beginning with A Prince Among Men (1994), and the Chronicles of Aelwyn, beginning with Timespell (1996), are not franchise-related. The Interstellar Defense League sequence of Space Operas, beginning with Face of the Enemy (1999) as by Richard Fawkes, is unambitious. [JC/DRL]
