Thanks for this great book with a different view of the golden age. I'm half way through and loving it. I looked back through the comments on your other books to figure out what the release schedule had been. I hope that I don't have to wait 6 months for every new book, but if that is what it takes to continue the quality writing, the intricate details of a "speculative" world, and the broad and sympathetic characters, it is well worth the wait. These books shouldn't be free, and I hope that others are putting their money where their mouths are as well. (I reccomended these to my brother, and I will make sure that he pays as well). ((It was a promo on COHPodcast that made me aware of your books.))By: Nathan
