I loved this book. Nice fiver.

I went on Google to look up "selan q-squared," as I had quite forgotten some of the details, and this fiver came up early in the results list. Sigh... search recursion.

Heh, third on the list for me. Well, maybe we'll get a little more traffic this way. Eventually.

Brilliant fiver I remember listening to this book on tape, I wonder what bits were missed out.

A lot was left out of the book on tape; I have it. Just go and read the whole thing now; trust me. Besides, the audiobook doesn't give you the "Track A, B, or C" notation to let you know which timeline you're in; it get's confusing.

Thanks!

I don't know what the book-on-tape is like, but the book-on-paper is a blast. Leaving any bits out is probably a bad thing, all things considered.




On a somewhat different note: Looking over my folder, I seem to have a grand total of two mostly completed novel fivers left: Incident at Arbuk (VOY) and First Frontier (TOS). Also a very funny (I'm so modest!) halfway-done The Devil's Heart (TNG). After that it's really just scraps, novel-wise.
