Definitely BTC! No question on that one! I found _"The Number of the Beast--"_ an enjoyable read (and you should read its parallel, _The Pursuit of the Pankera_), but I couldn't really 'connect' it (or PotP) to Traveller, which is sort of where "Off the Table" needs to be. If you've got that connection, definitely send it on! >They need a once over and I'll get them sent.

I'll refrain from commenting on the editing, or lack thereof, of late Heinlein. ®Traveller is a registered trademark of Far Future Enterprises, 1977-2020.
