Lines: 13 From: Evan Kirshenbaum There is a new book out in the Probability Broach series. It is called The_Gallatin_Connection and it fits sort of at both ends of the time-line (40 years after Tom_Paine_Maru and 210 years before The_Proability_Broach. Those of you who read TPB, will realize that it puts it right at the Whiskey Rebellion. It's not bad, but I don't think it's as good as the others (definitely not as good as TPB). Smith takes what I consider to be some unwarranted cheap shots at historical figures whom he doesn't like. Evan Kirshenbaum -------
