1795 - Wold Newton meteor strike: Eighteen individuals "were riding in two coaches past Wold Newton, Yorkshire.... A meteorite struck only twenty yards from the two coaches.... The bright light and heat and thunderous roar of the meteorite blinded and terrorized the passengers, coachmen, and horses.... They never guessed, being ignorant of ionization, that the fallen star had affected them and their unborn." Tarzan Alive, Addendum 2, pp. 247-248. The meteor strike was "the single cause of this nova of genetic splendor, this outburst of great detectives, scientists, and explorers of exotic worlds, this last efflorescence of true heroes in an otherwise degenerate age." Id., pp.230-231.         Artwork by Lisa EckertTHE WOLD NEWTON UNIVERSE

 

Cast of Characters

PART IV

by Win Scott Eckert

Following is a list of characters or sub-universes encompassed within The Wold Newton Universe, along with general dates or known periods of operation. Many on the list were originally placed in the Universe by Philip José Farmer (this is not intended to be an all-inclusive list - see Tarzan Alive and Doc Savage). I have added many more through their involvement in crossover stories with Farmer's original Wold Newton characters.


Members of the Wold Newton Family:

Mr. Farmer's original Wold Newton Family Trees (from Tarzan Alive and Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life) are online in graphic format. These family trees are the starting point for the extended universe described on this site.
