Hmmmm, I have them somewhere (Some kind Frenchie sent them to me a while
back), but I have not read them yet.

Freeman didn't like open spaces? <boggle> And Straker didn't like
enclosed places - what a pair!

LOL! Yeah, it's the purple hair.

I had both of them many years ago, and have recently been
reacquainted with UFO2. I agree, it really is very good! I
don't know what else Robert Miall wrote, but he definitely
brought UFO to the printed word with great flair. I
particularly like the way he manages to stitch different
episodes together into a single whole novel.
