The part where he and his agent make sure the contract guarantees\nWolfe final approval of all titles in the series. To avoid something like\n\"The Shadow of The Torturer. The Claw of the Conciliator.  Planet Breaker.\nAnd the Citadel of The Autarch.\"\n\nActually, Michael, I wouldn't call these examples \"thigh-slappers\" on the\nhumor scale. \n\nOreb, for me, supplies most of the best laughs.\n\nPatrick O'Leary\n\n\nQuestions or problems to whorl-owner at lists.best.com"
