I can only agree with the sentiments expressed above.. this gentleman can
really write!
I've only read 'Desperate Measures' which was just up my alley regarding size scale and the circumstances of the plot, so I'm not sure I'll find a slow shrink scenario so tempting (it's really not my bag). However, I might give it whirl at some point because of the authors pedigree.
Good luck with your ventures, sir.
