I certainly enjoyed volumne one, which I bought! However, even though I'm not a good proofreader, especially of what I've written, and despite that I make more than my share of typos, I found the many typos somewhat distracting. These were all of the sort that a spellchecker would not catch. Usually dropped letters when that still leaves a legitmate word.

End of July you say? Great! Gives me time to finish Harry Turtledove's latest alternative history story. "American Empire: The Center Cannot Hold ", which I just got from my older daughter for father's day. Clancy's latest, "Red Rabbit" is on order from my other daughter, but it won't be out until August 5th. They spoil me terribly. :)

Thank you for sticking with it. I have tried to catch many of those type of errors and then send in the new electronic files as I do so updates for new buyers keep improving.

This volume there is an extra set of eyes looking from a professional editor, FR's own bootless who runs Lightspeed Editing in the bay area ... so that will help.

It's funny, I never use to notice them ... but after all the proofing, which admittedly did not catch them all by any stretch, I find that I start to see the similar little errors that even work their way into the likes of a Clancy novel. Never saw them before.

Again, thanks for the patronge and hope the story was enjoyable, compelling and engrossing. I believe you will find volume II to be those things ... and to have a smaller number of those typos.
