For who else but Susan?

The inevitable freezing wind whistled thinly over Port Forlorn, bearing eddies of gritty dust and flurries of dirty snow, setting discarded sheets of newspaper cavorting over the fire-scarred concrete of the landing field like midget ballet dancers in soiled costumes.

He thought, I hope I'm not around when our luck finally does run out.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
