Title: Book memories . . . Post by: The Burgomaster on May 10, 2011, 01:20:24 PM When I was probably 10 or 11 years old I was in a store with my best friend. We both loved science fiction and they had a bin full of paperback science fiction books. They were selling them really cheap . . . probably something like 3 for $1.00 (I seem to remember buying 3 of them). Anyway, the one that stands out in my mind was called DEATH ON A WARM WIND. I read it at least 3 times. Of course, it was pulp sci-fi schlock and I suspect if I read it now I would think it was terrible. But back then I thought it was great. Here's the cover:

One boring rainy day while on vacation in Spain I started reading one of her books called Cold Moon Over Babylon while recovering from a sunburn. I was about 11 at that time, and the book gave me the creeps
