From old practice reading Graydon's comments on usenet, that was easily translated, even without the telltale mandatory use of the word "ambit"

:-)

Actually Safely You Deliver. More advanced studies by the central characters in A Succession of Bad Days.

I had to search. Looking for Commonwealth Graydon "Stand and Deliver" brought up Monday's issue of File 770, including a Tuesday comment beginning "Everyone here knows that Graydon’s third Commonwealth book, Stand and Deliver is out next month, right?"

These books seem to me in many ways a throwback to E. E. "Doc" Smith: a fascination with the technical details of immensely powerful magic, followed up by the continuous invention of even more powerful magic as the series goes on, combined with an explicit mechanism for ensuring that the wielders of this power are trustworthy.
