Down Among the Dead Men

First published in 2566, Down Among The Dead Men was Professor Bernice Summerfield's first published book. It detailed the young archaeologist's experiences excavating an Ice Warrior site at Mare Silenium on Mars. Though it was a best seller, and was a great help to her in obtaining employment at St. Oscar's University on Dellah, Benny sometimes has mixed feelings about it--describing it, at one point, as a book that "everyone bought, but no one read." (BNA: Oh No It Isn't!) Other readers are kinder: St. Oscar's student Theo Tamlyn thought it was "one of the few readable textbooks he'd encountered". (BNA: Dry Pilgrimage)

A revised edition was published in 2593 by St. Oscar's University Press, Dellah. (BNA: Walking to Babylon) This revised edition might be called Down Among The Dead Men Again (EDA: Seeing I)
