"I think it's called reentry." -- final scene of Moonraker
Meanwhile, back at the ranch . . . . Now on page 426, 2/3 of the way through Ben-Hur. Judah has won the chariot race; no word yet about Messala's...
5 chapters into Book V of Ben-Hur. Judah and the Sheik both know that Messala is spying on them, the Sheik having gotten one of Messala's...
Judah Ben-Hur is now training the sheik's horses for the chariot race. And getting along very well with them. And also getting along well with...

Interesting. Probably the only Diane Carey TOS novel I don't remember. That may be next after I finish Ben-Hur. Closing in on the mid-point (and...

Now something on the order of about 10-15% into Ben-Hur: I might break 100 pages this evening. Ben-Hur is a doorstop of a novel, weighing in at...
