(1968-    ) Pseudonym of US computer Game designer and fantasy novelist Theodore Beale, co-founder of the video game company Fenris Wolf which developed the Rebel Moon game. As Beale he has written the Eternal Warriors sequence of fundamentalist-Christian fantasy novels; his sf contribution, as Day, is the game Tie Rebel Moon * (1996) with Bruce Bethke. The game scenario, with a libertarian Moon battling Earth oppression, strongly echoes Robert Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (December 1965-April 1966 If; 1966); this is likewise true of the novel, including such implausibilities as the Moon being a major food source for Earth.
