As a Muscovite myself, I couldn't be more excited. <br /><br />I just hope that they use the better translation of <i>The Iron Dragon's Daughter</i> in the omnibus, though. The most recent one can't compare to the old one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03568948989336179391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484180326012950400.post-7008576680768405132014-12-04T16:58:28.083-08:002014-12-04T16:58:28.083-08:00Sandy, everything you've ever said to me has b...Sandy, everything you've ever said to me has been worth hearing.

Tune into 990 AM or 1210 AM in Philadelphia and then switch to 90.9 FM. You might feel sometimes as if you were tuning into radio transmissions from two different alternate universes.
