Nice. They put out a bunch of Kuttner last year, but only one was a Moore collaboration.

I guess I should do one of my periodic checks for classic authors who've been been reprinted digitally.

ETA: Ooo, somebody's republished D.F. Jones' Colossus (AKA The Forbin Project). Oddly, though, they've put out second sequel but not the first. They also have The Earth Has Been Found, a fun Wyndhamesque cozy catastrophe -- but none of the Jones novels I haven't read.

Thanks for the pointer; I'll go snatch up Colossus and The Fall of Colossus as ebooks.

It's been years since I've read them but isn't Fall the second book, and thus the first sequel, in the series?

You're right. I got confused because "Colossus and the Crab" is a horrible name for the final book of a trilogy (and the plot's not much better -- I mean, the Crab Nebula as a threat to the solar syster?)

I remember "Earth Has been Found" as more creepy than cozy (extra-dimensional insect-like parasites?) but it has been a while since I read it.

I love all this older stuff coming back in print.
