Kaor, Paul!
Lots of "memorable" times in Anderson's works, but I'm not objecting! And one thought was wondering if Merseian agents had slipped false information about that planet "Jean Baptiste" into the Terran data banks, so anyone who checked up on Aycharaych would think he was what he claimed to be. Aycharaych would be counting on no one trying to check more deeply if he did not arouse any suspicions.
Ad astra! Sean

Kaor, Paul!
I thought so! Sometimes I do remember things correctly! (Smiles)
Ad astra! Sean
