Amazon.com lists Endangered Species as "out of stock" and
Planet Engineering as "out of print."  The implication is
that the former might be reprinted soon but the latter
won't.

There's a "drag-mining" machine that stands a few dozen
stories tall and walks on gargantuan pneumatic feet.  Saw it
on cable teevee last night.  It looks more like an oil rig
than a tower.

To which I concur.  Stay cool and you won't feel my WRATH.
