Thank you Mad, and you can tell Lews that I love the Barsoom books as well as the Lensman series. My ghost is a real hero in the finest tradition of both. The damsel will is from Crimmeria, the pirates are from Silesian confederacy. Now I just have to get them all together and hope the good guys win. But I bet you are going to be rooting for my anti-hero.
Rabbi,
I want to be sure you're feeling no pressure here but Mad was wondering how you were progressing. Lews is making catcalls in the background and Mr H Dean is pacing with a knife and fork in hand.
In short you have not been forgotten.
Yours
Mad & Lews
