One more blurb for the Lost in Translation paperback…
…this time from Dave Duncan, author of umpteen SF and fantasy novels, including the popular The Seventh Sword series and the King’s Blades series; his latest book, just released, is Children of Chaos:
“To call a Science Fiction tale ‘Old Fashioned’ is neither an insult nor an oxymoron. Willett has created an interstellar adventure story worthy of Golden Age masters like Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein. The pace is fast, the invention rich, and the plot twirls and twists like an Aldebaranian Woggle Dancer. Willett even pulls off that trickiest of SF finesses, the alien species that does not think like humankind and yet makes enough sense to capture our interest and sympathy. If you hanker after a journey to distant worlds and a visit to the Galactic Commonwealth, then reach for Lost in Translation.” – Dave Duncan
I’m pleased Dave enjoyed the book, because I’ve certainly enjoyed all of his that I’ve read, and recommend them to you highly.

Suits me. I make more money on hardcover sales…especially if you buy directly from me. (Hint, hint.)
With all these rave reviews, I may not be able to wait for the paperback!
