Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alzrius" data-source="post: 8576136" data-attributes="member: 8461">Some Googling suggests that "Randolph D. Calverhall" is supposed to be an ancestor of Barker's. I can't find any corroboration for that, or anything else that conclusively puts him as being the author of the novel in question.The post in the OP links to a messageboard thread which references <a href="http://www.academia.edu/37489376/Muhammad_Abd_al_Rahman_Phillip_Barker_Bridging_Cultural_Divides_through_Fantasy_Science_Fiction_Role_Playing_Games_and_Fictional_Religion)" target="_blank">a paper</a> about Barker. While the paper makes no explicit mention of the novel, it mentions a pseudonymous work, expounding on this in footnote 25:I've seen a few other references to this online, but nothing more conclusive than what's alleged in the post the OP reproduced here.EDIT: With regard to tying the name "Randolph D. Calverhall" to Barker, I registered for the messageboard linked to in the quote the OP provides. Viewing the original post, the person also says the following: "Phil also left some big fat clues in the book. The name on the cover is the founder of his Shropshire family, the protagonist's heraldic arms are those of the Barker family, and the protagonist is married to a Pakistani women."</blockquote>
