Neptune's Treasure by Richard A. Lovett

 I have always wanted to blog about all the stuff I read, especially my science fiction. Never had the time. I still don't, but I'm going to make time for at least one book, my all time favorite science fiction story. That's the book in the title by the way. I first read the story all out of order, in an online copy of Analog Science Fiction magazine. I read "Music to Me" and did not even realize that it was part 4 of a 5 part series until Richard came out with "Defender of Worms" a few months afterwards. Neptune's Treasure is something I had wanted him to do for many years now, a collection of all five stories in one place for me to finally read the entire series in the proper order. Originally when I had contacted the author he said I could find the stories at the local library. I told him the Analog would not sell me specific backissues to me, even digitally. They apparently don't keep copies of all the stuff they publish. Boggles the mind, but maybe they just can't handle custom orders like that.
