Just finished The Spectral Link. Short, but excellent. Especially The Small People."

Thanks for commenting, Jeff. As I write this there is just one vote for The Spectral Link at present but I'm sure there will be more to come.

I'm not really qualified to vote on this, I've only read Teatro and Conspiracy. My Work is Not Yet Done is in the mail... but otherwise, I couldn't comment.
