Great series. If you like this, I would suggest starting his Alvin series...very good. First book I believe is called Seventh Son. I just finished a couple Michael Crichton books. He is a great author, I must say. Airframe The Andromeda Strain Disclosure (I think it's called that...i blazed through it in a day or so without even looking at the cover...) __________________ o.ôI just got a warning beacuse my stupid sig didn't work.

A Princess of Mars -Edgar Rice Burroughsone of his first works before he published, and became famous for his creation- Tarzan. only bad part is, is that there are supposedly a couple sequels, but the stories are so old, publisher's don't bother to print them anymore- besides, ER Burroughs, Inc. holds all the rights to his stories. damnit! i want to finish the Tarzan series!

Can't you try the library or Ebay? My library has 166 Burroughs volumes. I'm currently reading Let it Bleed, by Gary Indiana. __________________ I collect crimped cards. If you have any, please let me know. Thanks!

Nothing. At all. My local library is flooded ATM, and my book club delivery is very, very late. When that arrives, however, I will be reading "A Storm of Swords" by George R R Martin and "Midnight Tides" by Steven Erikson.
