    I think I may have to go back and read its predecessor to try to get my
    head around various things. Anyway, more later.


    Thanks for posting this! I had no idea he was still writing (yay Glen!),
    and I'm looking forward to grabbing this book soon.

    I've also been listening to one of the Puller stories by David Baldacci while out on my daily walks. I am becoming a bit disenchanted with his style. Or at least the style for this book or maybe series. But that is
    not SF so maybe not applicable here.

    Glad to be of service. Apparently, he's got at least 3 books planned.
    But he's in his 80's. That makes me nervous about him finishing.
