The maybe is on page 50 where Jack is reading the intro to Kick and Thompson says that his book speaks to the disadvantaged as well as the vantaged. I have never heard vantage used in this capacity before and I don't know if it's accurate.
Great book so far, my favorite since Gateways.

Like all the gang, I read a lot, but I cannot think of another author whose works are so riddled with typos. And it's not just Gauntlet Press--the mm paperbacks too!
ccosborne3 Wrote:Ha! There's 2 or 3 proofreaders on the board that'll be wantin' the Bluesman's ass for that one. :eek:

ccosborne3 Wrote:The thing is you dont know who they are. The Bluesman however is a known quantity and easy to find.

Seriously, ccos, there are other proofreaders on the board?
ccosborne3 Wrote:Yeah, I think at least two. Neither one of which is me. Probably not KRW either, our English skills are roughly equal.
Everyone else here is a possible proofreader.
Then again Ken's a sly one, he might be faking it to throw you off the trail.
