I've found a hold for me. Larry, I've downloaded From Colony to Superpower and
will keep it safe until I can get to it. smile
I still have only 3 in my pile, so if the person who wanted me to do the
Repairman Jack novel wants to put it up, let me know, and I'll download it,
unless some one else wants to proof it.
