Untitled[edit]

The article reference to "WWII" should be changed to something like "mid-20th century Central European" war, since the main character might not actually be from our Earth.

The article should also include the Boris Vallejo Two Hawks from Earth cover.

The novel is in the vein of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and PJF was quite involved with ERB; this should be mentioned.

We need links to reviews of the book. It starts well, but does not sustain interest. The THfE ending gets interesting again, but seems added-on and confusing, incomplete.69.87.202.105 02:06, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Creating Artificial Worlds

First appeared in: Pulsar, Summer 79

This article is a speech given by Farmer at Facts about SF:The Writers Speak, ten week series of SF lectures, April 5 - June 7 1978. Farmer takes his novel TWO HAWKS FROM EARTH as an example and explains what research and extrapolating he did about the world (an Earth where North and South America never rose from the oceans) where the story takes place. All this had to be done for background details before he began writing the story itself.

Edgar Rice Burroughs

First appeared in: 20TH CENTURY FICTION, 1985

In this short essay Farmer talks about Burroughs early career and how his writing style is only suited to works of fantasy. He also discusses Burroughs' most important character, Tarzan, at length.

What happened to the Slavs?[edit]

They just disappear?

-G

Yes. At one point in the book Farmer mentions that among other groups, the Slavs, Hebrews, Italics, and Australian aborigines do not exist in this world. Baconheimian (talk) 13:52, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
