Newt, Baen, and a warehouse full of unsold books...
Rich Schiller
If what I read of the prologue is any indication of the book's quality,
I won't need to look for it in the bookstore. I have a feeling it will
try to crawl its way out of the sewer in search of victims all too soon.

The prologue was the good part. It went downhill after that.
I read 1945 all the way through (something I doubt that anyone
involved in the production, including the authors, ever did).
The book would have been a lot better if the authors had used
different words in another order.

You know, I think that's a very good assessment.

I love it. I may just have to recycle that one.
Using different words, in a different order, of course.
