The Liaden Universe seemingly shares Perry Rhodan's penchant for the
never-ending space saga - a good thing for fans of epic Science
Fiction. In reality Rostov dust apparently appears during Rostov-on-Don
wind storms.
    The Rostóv family also possesses a prominent position in my current
audiobook: WAR AND PEACE. Book eleven commences during tonight's dog
walk, followed by half-a-dozen additional books.
    Thank you for sharing your reviews.
