The Sea Wasp (Ryk E. Spoor)

Oh, believe me, I'm not going to stress myself playing whack-a-mole with the download sites. I only do the occasional Google to check for people who are actively *selling* ripped-off copies and/or claiming that they have my permission to distribute free copies, and if I find one I'm going to let my publishers send round the people with thin watches and even thinner briefcases. I'm just bemused by their complete disconnect between authors getting paid and authors continuing to write.
