==Issue 5==
Infinite Diversity 5 was published in 1984 and contains 126 pages. The art is by Pat Harris and Donna Banzhof. 
From an ad in Datazine #32: "Do you want to know what was left out of Sonni Cooper's "Black Fire"? Then you will want a copy of ID5. [It includes] things that were changed or left out of the book." 
It does not contain any of the material that was in the pro-novel itself. 
From the zine, the run-on, poorly formed sentence: "Anyone who hasn't read BLACKFIRE by Sonni Cooper, published by Pocket Books, Timescape Edition should do one of two things, first would be purchase a copy and read it, second put this zine down and forget it because without reading the book this Fanzine would make little or no sense at all."
From Interview with Sonni Cooper (1896):
