"Legion," Foster said. I turned. A beer bottle was hanging in the air in front of my face. I put a hand up fast and the bottle slapped my palm.

"Not a bad set of reflexes for a man whose adventures are all behind him." Foster said.

Some of my favorite imagery in all literature, I've decided, for the moment.

Oooh, that's a good one! "Trace of Memory", yes?

Laumer had this incredibly dry wit that comes through in his narrative now and then. It's almost an English humor. It's also very subtle and if you blink, you'll miss it. I love it.
