Harry, I have to admit to not reading Ghost. Also there are several, even in the Free Library, that don't look appealing. But as you & Nathan both said, there are good authors and very good books there. I'd add Wen Spencer, Elisabeth Moon & Andre Norton to your list of good authors.
Based on your recommendation (and Nathans) I will also probably forgo reading Ghost. Thanks for the tip.
