It includes a short self-test--very interesting!

Subject: HIS FATHER'S SON

I'm in the middle of the new Richard Dun novel by Nigel Bennett and P. N.
Elrod.  So far, I like it better than the first (I liked the first one, of
course, I just like this one even better).  Suspenseful and filled with
wrenching emotions.

Also of interest:  Sir Richard makes a cameo appearance in Elrod's other new
book, a perfectly delightful sequel to DRACULA entitled QUINCEY MORRIS,
VAMPIRE.
