Critic commentActually, a "meanwhile" for book forty two. TR gets to be a Pinnacle Class ship. The two (books) are funny as hell. Some of the antics of TR as the Pinnacle are beyond hilarious – particularly the description of the "accidents" that befall … but that would be giving it away.****½ BHHA group is trying to take over the casinos on the vacation worlds.

They find an old civilization, but what is the connection with this one?Critic commentMoulton seems to have some kind of obsession about societal imperatives. One would expect to quickly grow tired of it, but he manages to keep coming up with stories that are quite good as well as tales to hold the reader's attention.- IA Rtng: ***
20) The Later Years
Author
Description
Mysteries in the style of the 60'sTakes the original CD Grimes from the early 60s to the mid 70sCritics commentA lot like book one. The detective ages and has a family in a realistic enough way, and the stories are the type printed in the magazines. I personally liked a couple of them and thought they were above average. Moulton shows some talent, which is more than can be said of too many writers anymore. – JM Rtng: I'd buy it
