I cannot post a sample for this book. Before it even sold to Ace, I provided a long extract (the first two chapters) to Amazon.com for its "Shorts" program, where it can be downloaded for 49¢:

Charging for letting you see advertising is a sleazy trick practiced by movie theaters, but in this case I would infringe my agreement with Amazon if I posted the same material elsewhere. As compensation for the fee, the extract provides about 10% of the text, so it gives you not only a good look at the story, but better value in words/¢ than the entire book will.
