Hi Jackie,It is a sequel, the first book is called A Fire Upon the Deep, which is on Bookshare. That one was scanned by Carrie Carnos, when she used to do that sort of thing, and proofread by me.
Thanks very much, and I hope you like it. I will say honestly that The Children of the Sky is not the book that I, and many others, really were hoping for. You'll see when you start the second book, or read much about it from reviewers. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it, and I think other Bookshare readers will as well.

Hi, Is that book the second or third or part of a series? If so, tell me the first or so books so I can read them. I'll check out this book and proof it.

On January 25, it was picked up by someone and released, expired?, on February 8. Unfortunately, the book has been on the Check Outpage since then.I am a bit disappointed, and somewhat amazed as well, that a book by one of the most acclaimed SF writers in recent decades is having trouble finding aproofreader. Where are the Science Fiction readers out there? I would certainly prefer that someone read through it, but at this point,I'd be grateful if, short of an entire read through, a proofreader would dowhatever they feel is necessary to satisfy themselves that the book is ofexcellent quality and send it on to the Approval queue. I have read throughit and spell checked it completely, adjusted all fonts appropriately, and made sure that all page breaks and page numbers are accounted for.I would appreciate it very much if someone would please take this book so itcan get into the collection. Thanks much.
