from a review by Mark R. Leeper.
I must disagree with part of this statement. Bluejay has published "The Door
Into Fire" by Diane Duane. So far, Mark Leeper and I are (probably) in
agreement as this is a reprint, and is very good. Bluejay has also published
"The Door Into Shadow" (also by Diane Duane). This is NOT a reprint, it is the
sequal to TDIF and the first (and so far only) edition. It is BETTER than the
first book. Thus Bluejay has published at least one good new piece of fiction.

Are you accusing me of having heard that DOOR was good and then lying
about it? :-) I really had not heard that DOOR INTO FIRE was good, but
I have now. Thanx.
