I have just a few days left in the month and decided I want to finish one more book. That would be four in a month, which is very good for me even if they are short novels. So last night I began reading Dumarest 17.

This may be the first Dumarest novel I’ve read in which Earl starts out on the same planet he finished the previous book on, with the same people. I wonder if the remaining novels will continue this trend, as we accelerate toward the end of the saga. Time will tell.
