Slow Train to Arcturus - authors edit

This article doesn't credit Eric Flint as co-author of that novel. According to the copyright, he is. I am adding it, although whether Flint contributed anything but his name, I don't know. He is known to provide story or even series outlines to other authors for them to write the story, however this would be contributing (as an author) wouldn't it? I am adding "with Eric Flint" to the page.174.131.60.136 (talk) 18:19, 7 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for fixing that. AFAIK, Mr Flint created the setting and the plot outline, while Dr Freer did the bulk of the writing. (This is common at Baen: many years ago, Eric write most of the Belisarius series, based on an outline from David Drake.) Cheers, CWC 09:26, 8 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
