I would like to recommend this book to anyone who:
1. Likes science fiction. Nancy Kres is a classic science fiction writer,
her series about "the people", a group of aliens who migrate to earth to
avoid a catastrophe on their own planet, has won numerous awards.
2. Wants a book that is easy to proof. Misha is one of those people whose
scans are near perfect. But, be careful, because Misha may treat you to some
challenges, because he doesn't shy away from the challenges himself.
3. Someone who is a new proofreader. Misha is easy to talk with, and
doesn't treat your questions as a challenge to his scanning ability.
I am currently working on Deborah's Guardian of the Phoenix, but I can
assure you that I'll grab this book if it's still on the checkout list when
I finish.
Thanks.
Bob

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Book submitted, Probability Moon by Nancy Kress
I just submitted Probability Moon by Nancy Kress. It is part of a
trilogy--Probability Moon, Probability Sun and Probability Space.
Probability Sun is already in bookshare. I'll try to pick up Probability
Space from the library today (and yesterday I got permission form the
doctor to bicycle, woohoo, only a month since my operation).
Meanwhile, for any potential proofer, here is the synopsis for
Probability Moon (and pretty much the whole series):
Humankind has expanded out into interstellar space using star
gates-technological remnants left behind by an ancient,
long-vanished race. But the technology comes with a price. Among the
stars, humanity encountered the Fallers, a strange alien race bent
on nothing short of genocide. It's all-out war, and humanity is
losing. In this fragile situation, a new planet is discovered,
inhabited by a pre-industrial race who experience "shared
reality"-they're literally compelled to share the same worldview. A
team of human scientists is dispatched-but what they don't know is
that their mission of first contact is actually a covert military
operation. For one of the planet's moons is really a huge mysterious
artifact of the same origin as the star gates . . . and it just may
be the key to winning the war.
