So ... how or who approaches the Foundation to ask? I'm developing a new version of Tunnel in the Sky even as we speak. Published no where, and I won't without permission. Still, I'm having great fun.
You see, there's a new character named Ana whose familiar with Captain's law. She also has two genetically engineered cats on their 'solo survival' (substitute 'trio survival'), and she's armed with a Roman short sword, the best infantry weapon ever created until the bayoneted M-16 came along. Oh, and Rod says 'she's okay' ... when Jimmy asks if he likes her.
Someone stop me before I keep writing!
