NOT SO! CHARNUR'S VENTURE was the 2nd book in the series (after THE PRIDE
OF CHANUR); THE KIF STRIKE BACK is the 3rd book (whose title was thought
to be CHANUR'S REVENGE). I just finished TKSB this weekend; for those who
read the first two books, it's a must. I found it better than CV, maybe
even better than TPOC. There's only one problem:
*** MINI-SPOILER ***
SHE DID IT TO US AGAIN! At the end of CHANUR'S VENTURE, the action stopped
at a crucial point with the words "TO BE CONTINUED in CHANUR'S REVENGE".
In THE KIF STRIKE BACK, things were flying fast and heavy, when I found
myself on the last page with the words "TO BE CONTINUED in CHARUR'S HOME-
COMING". What is this, adventure serials? Once was irritating, but
twice in a row is damned inconsiderate!
