A new edition of my first DAW Books science fiction novel, Lost in Translation

Fairly hard on the heels of the new edition of my second novel, The Dark Unicorn, I’ve now released a new edition of the first of my novels published by DAW Books in New York. Lost in Translation was first published by Five Star Books in hardcover, strictly for the library market. DAW picked it up for a mass market paperback edition, and it proved to be the first of twelve novels (so far) for DAW.
