I hadn't realized that the Saga of Pliocine Exile books were out of print until pierceheart mentioned I should look for them on half.com or abebooks.com. Well, when I found that out, I decided to go ahead and find them ALL in hardcover on abebooks.com and order them. Including the Galactic Milieu trilogy. I figure, it's better to get them, have them, read them, and decide I don't like them, than to hope I'll happen on them one day, read them, decide I like them, and be unable to find copies of my own in decent condition.

I may also have to use that site to get the rest of Richard Cowper's series that started with The Road to Corlay, which book I once borrowed from my father, fell head over heels in love with, and never returned. :)

the set I have were published in 1982, London, by a publisher called Pan Books.
My step-father came home from some trip with the whole set, prolly picked them up in an airport.

I need to try and figure out what happeded to the first book of this set... or buy them all again.

Did you also order Intervention and Metaconcert?

I ordered Intervention. Metaconcert, I didn't see. I'll look again.

Just found that out. Too late.

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

Sorry.

I have the Pliocene Companion, so don't buy that.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

I didn't, and wasn't planning to. It's cool that you have it though! We'll have the whole set! :D

Got Metaconcert too a minnute ago. But then I took a look at the Wikipedia entry on May, and I think Intervention INCLUDES it. It says Intervention was released in the UK as a single volume, and in the US as the two separate paperbacks Surveillance and Metaconcert. I got Intervention, not Surveillance. Well, we'll see. It was only another few bucks...
