Seeing as how Eric Frank Russell has been mentioned I thought I'd throw in my pitch for one of his better books, Men, Martians and Machines. It's been years since I read it but if you can find it read it. And now the question: What other books relate to Downbelow Station? I'm just about done with that one and find myself ready for more. Thanks in advance......................db

According to Cherryh, all of her SF (except the Gate series) is
all releated, but you might want to try "Merchanter's Luck".

I have forgotten the publisher and editors, but I was very pleased to get a hard-back copy; my paper-back version was purchased in 1965 and is very fragile. However, I was disappointed to see that the two texts did not match; the more recent printing had been Americanized. I clearly remember a spanner becoming a wrench; there may be other examples. It kind of irritates me, since I learned a lot of interesting words from books, words that I might not have learned if everything was written in some 'standard' American english. Ned Danieley duke!ndd
