Dry Run is another chapter in the perigrinations of the hapless SAM BOONE as he wanders the galaxy. This story marks the second in which I have tried to develop an actual plot, which some say ruined the fun of it all.
This is sort of a detective story and, as usual, I have attempted to poke gentle fun at a few of my friends in the sf community in general, and the staff of Analog in particular. I have also enlarged the cast of characters quite a bit, enough so that I am starting to lose track of them.
