I was kidnapped by space aliens. They snatched me right out of the park. Just as I was about to be probed, I told them that Amazon.com had Alan Dean Foster's
Icerigger Trilogy for $1.99. They were so grateful that they gave me a disintegrator ray and let me go.
In other news, my annoying neighbor's monster truck seems to have disappeared. No trace of it. The police are baffled.
