Miker, I got to read _Water_ cause my sister said she wasn't
waiting any longer, checked it out of the library, read it in
2 days (!), and lent it to me. And if you thought things were
tough in Tibet! The author's apparently a foreign affairs
professional (who lives not that far from me), so all the
basic facts--amazing as they are--are pretty much
facts.
I've read all the Arkadys, and they
are superb. I thought _Havana Bay_ rejuvenated the
series.
