I suppose I should introduce myself in a little more formal fashion. I am Andrea Ubutanga, a cyborg. Yeah, I am not even really a human being, regardless of the UEC officially declaring me to be one. I have an Asimov android body controlled by a more or less human brain. That brain is made up of spare parts they had lying around in a neurological wing of a hospital here on earth. Approximately one-half of those spare parts are from a naval commander that lived over a century ago while the other half is from a prostitute that was a whole human even longer ago than that.

I suppose I should introduce myself in a little more formal fashion. I am Andrea Ubutanga, a cyborg. Yeah, I am not even really a human being, regardless of the UEC officially declaring me to be one. I have an Asimov android body controlled by a more or less human brain. That brain is made up of spare parts they had lying around in a neurological wing of a hospital here on earth. Approximately one-half of those spare parts are from a naval commander that lived over a century ago while the other half is from a prostitute that was a whole human even longer ago than that. I became Andrea thanks to some very fine work by one Dr. Delios of that same hospital I mentioned. I was adopted by Secretary Ubutanga in a political expediency move to keep me out of the hands of the scientific researchers and the military. (They wanted to make me into a weapon!)

Autorenporträt
Richard Allen was the pen-name of James Moffat, born in Canada in 1922. Moffat was prolific, though one repeated claim that he was the author of "at least 290 novels in several genres under at least 45 pseudonyms" still requires independent verification. It is known that Moffat contributed to an early draft of the novel Somewhere in The Night, which was later completed (or entirely rewritten - sources differ) by Michael Moorcock and published under the pseudonym Bill Barclay in 1966. However it was Moffat's gritty youthsploitation novels, published in the 1970's and early 1980's under the name Richard Allen, that form the bulk of his legacy today. The Joe Hawkins story began in Skinhead (1970) and was continued in Suedehead (1971). Later there were further instalments in Joe Hawkins' story, as well as novels focussing on other youth movements such as Smoothies (1973), Punk Rock (1977) and the final Allen novel Mod Rule (1980). Altogether there were eighteen novels under the Richard Allen brand. James Moffat spent most of his final decade in obscurity, though he lived to see the reissue of the Richard Allen novels in the early 1990's. He died in July of 1993, while living in a nursing home in Newton Abbot.
