Summary: "...After a Few Words..." by Randall Garrett is a science fiction short story written in the early 1960s. The narrative combines a historical setting during the Crusades with a futuristic twist, exploring the relationship between a modern television producer and an immersive virtual experience. The likely topic centers on the intersection of historical events and contemporary marketing, particularly through the lens of entertainment technology. The story follows Robert Bowen, a producer who experiences a virtual reality simulation of the Crusades through a televicarion helmet. He finds himself in the midst of a battle led by King Richard against Saracen forces. As he rides alongside Sir Robert de Bouain, a knight who seems alive with loyalty and bravery, Bowen becomes embroiled in the wartime chaos. The narrative highlights themes of honor, loyalty, and the commercialization of war, culminating in Bowen's realization that the product placement within the simulation has far outstripped the quality of the actual cigarettes being advertised, leading to critical commentary on advertising and authenticity in contemporary media.
