Curse you! Dang you to ... to ... to _heck_! for making me have to purchase
Phoenix Rising in TRADE PAPERBACK! I'll get you for this, see if I don't!

(I haven't finished it yet because, apologies, Captain Vorpatril's Alliance
had to come first. I like the summary LMB puts in the timeline for it: "ImpSec
Headquarters suffers a problem with moles.". It's set before Cryoburn, though
this almost doesn't matter, and you'd think Miles would have thought about
SOME of the occurrences in this book at some point in that book, but noooo...)

I didn't MAKE you do it, my young apprentice. You chose that path
freely, of your own will. The eBook path was also open to you. Or, even,
the Patient Path (waiting for the mass market paperback). Direct your
anger inward, and your journey to the Dark Side will be complete!

So, it's about one of them suffering a skin condition? Or is it the
garden suffering from those little furry things?

That was an e-book for me.

I just got the dead tree version yesterday. Since I already read my
e-arc, my wife is reading the new copy.

Not a skin condition, but otherwise there was something of a pun.

Heh. There is chocolate involved at one point, I believe. And definitely groats.
