SAM BOONE'S APPEAL TO COMMON SCENTS is a sequel to < strong > SAM BOONE AND THE THERMAL COUPLES . I came across an article on animal communication in US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT that was loaded with ideas. Since I already had the universe of Sam Boone at hand, I decided to write another chapter, but place it earlier in his life (after all, he was going to Andromeda at the end of THERMAL COUPLES!) Besides, I had a portion of text I excised from THERMAL COUPLES that I wanted to expand, and that is where the planet Scrofulous came from. There were some left over pieces from SCENTS that I later worked into < strong > SAM BOONE'S RATIONAL CHOICE.
