I think the plot and main themes are Stephern Baxter's but there are occasions when Terry Pratchett's humour comes through- as though he's read the main plot and then added the humorous twists.Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-42908267261044625972012-06-22T09:01:00.079+01:002012-06-22T09:01:00.079+01:00Doorbell?

I know my neighbours are away if I get their letters too (the postie would find their door would be locked and they don't have a letter box, which for the information of those in most countries other than the UK is not a separate box but a slit in the front door). If I'm away my letters are just left in the porch or taken to Pat's in the next village.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-22098778674809264832012-06-21T23:58:57.562+01:002012-06-21T23:58:57.562+01:00Laughed when I read this.

My opinion is that the lesser known authors (he had done this with more than one) have written the novel, and he allows his name to be on it. Goodness knows that I could be wrong, but, as my loving departed would say, "My mind is made up, don't confuse me with the facts!"<br />Apparently your author still is writing up to snuff.<br />D.T. The paper has been reporting that the main distribution center will be closing, perhaps one of the post office branches too. Is it inconvenient without your post office?Scrappy Gramshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09009685288094065223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-58941489999530449842012-06-21T19:01:50.655+01:002012-06-21T19:01:50.655+01:00Ah, lucky you :) I know I read something about tha...Ah, lucky you :) I know I read something about that book somewhere - before publication - but I can't remember where (your blog?).<br /><br />Postmen don't ring any doorbells here... Usually when I've ordered something the size of a book I get an advice note that it's too big to deliver and I have to go and pick it up at the supermarket (there are no separate post offices any more either). I doubt they even bother to check whether it would actually go through a standard letter-box or not.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-11745195766974652202012-06-21T18:47:46.563+01:002012-06-21T18:47:46.563+01:00Have you finished yet?
