How can Powell's be the best used book store ever if it doesn't have any John M. Ford in stock?

Because they got completely cleaned out when his death was reported?

Just another reminder that I have to buy a couple of his novels and read them...all I've read from him is, funny enough, his contribution to GURPS Infinite Worlds...

Is there any particular JMF you're looking for? I tend to pick up extra copies as I see them.

I met Mike at Fiddler's Green and have meant to pick up any of his books since then.

I've been told his Star Trek novel ?Get it Wholesale? is the best ST novel there is. However, if you've read alot, I'd be willing to take suggestions.

Of the two Star Trek novels I personally prefer THE FINAL REFLECTION which is the Klingon chess first contact one. But the really good stuff is THE DRAGON WAITING, GROWING UP WEIGHTLESS, THE LAST HOT TIME, and some of the short stories. Of the early stuff I prefer PRINCES OF THE AIR over WEB OF ANGELS. I can probably go on for a while about his works, and will dig up some links for you later.

Actually, over on the Well they are starting a discussion of The Dragon Waiting. Maybe that would be a good one.
