Not read for a while. Prequel to the Galactic Milieu books, and to some extent the Saga of the Exiles.

I found a hardback copy very cheaply, so this my paperback is up for grabs.

Released on Tuesday, January 06, 2004 at Colliery Wheel in City of Dan in Whitwick, Leics., England United Kingdom.

Fantastic - my first catch! I saw on the 'Go Hunting' page that this book had been released close to where I live two days previously, and thought it likely that it would still be there.
The old colliery wheel is a great release spot - it's close to a main road and a car park, but set far back enough from the road so that you actually have to get quite close to the wheel to see the book - much less chance of passing yobs happening across the book and destroying it.
I was delighted when I saw the book was still there - although I felt a bit like a spy, walking around the spot in the dark, then grabbing the package, getting back into my car and driving away!
The book's subject (sci-fi) is not really my thing, so I'm not planning to read it.
Rather, I'll hang onto it until I find a REALLY GREAT spot to release it - after all, your first re-release of something you caught in the wild should be something special!

Mailed to GoryDetails in New Hampshire, USA.

The book arrived safely in today's mail, along with the lovely card; many thanks! I asked for this book because a friend of mine's been looking for a copy for a while now; this will be going to her. [I feel rather badly for doing another "passed along unread" to this book, but (a) it's part of a series, none of which I've read, and I hate to start in the middle; (b) it looks to be hard-science-fiction, which isn't a favorite genre of mine; and (c) it's huge {grin}. If my friend comments on it favorably maybe I'll reconsider someday!]
