For me, one of the ways I determine the quality of a book is if I want to read it again. I'm now on my 4th re-read of "The Tomb," and it's still wonderful, fresh and exhilarating.

Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.
A Maggers Haiku, 2005
Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

Doesn't Heinlein rate too?
I just finished the "definitive" version of "The Tomb" a few days ago. It's only the second time through for this book. But, WOW!!! I forgot how damn good it is. It's all the nuances that I didn't remember from over 15 years ago, but it was a blast from start to finish... This is one of those books that makes you a fan for life!

[SIZE="3"]They're coming. The translation took longer than anticipated because no one realized that the original German version was abridged. Festa will be giving you the full text. Advance orders have exceeded the planned first print run so that will be expanded.[/SIZE]

I know what you mean. I'm getting ready to pick up Blackwind for the gabillionth time. It never gets old. I am mucho looking forward to the Blackwind limited Edition from Borderlands.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Okay, thanks for this answer. Good to know. I had strong feelings about that, because there are NO infos on http://www.amazon.de so....I never know what's up with my order ^^^
Now, one question, Who is Festa?

Fabulous idea Maggers......I'll start with "The Tomb".Sounds great except I'll make that a glass of wine and cats to cuddle with. Also think I'll start with The Keep.
