As a history buff I appreciate certain details G. Fredrick Lewis put into this story, such as referring to Ju 52 transports and Otto Skorzeny\'s role in the kidnapping, er, rescuing of Mussolini. There is no mention of the Fiesler Storch (Fi 56) used to whisk the Italian leader away, which is too bad because the Storch was one of the few airplanes the Germans had that could touch down (and take off) with but a few yards of flat grass.

As I am a big fan of the \'81-\'82 series years, may I request \"The Rim of Eternity\" (#1366, 9/2/82) and as alternates may I request \"Portrait of the Past\" (#1391 11/9/82) and Roll Call of the Dead (#1374 9/27/82).

\"The Rim of Eternity\" is an absolute gem of a story, hardly a line wasted, great performances by Mandel Kramer and Larry Haines.<br>
