Scientists are building rocket ships for a chosen few to escape planets hurtling toward each other on a direct collision course, leaks out touching off a savage struggle for survival.

What have we here — still! (The second hundred years...) Once again we have our couple of fifty years together as of this year, individuals like us with a sense of humor all their own. Not only are they likewise sharing the same interests, only now the great-grandchildren are starting to arrive, but the wit that has helped to bond them together just seems to keep on growing with each passing year. George is much the same, as is Rose, both being fictitious names the wife and I have a fondness for. The prior unprepared for collision now years behind us, we will once more willingly share with you more of our often true rib-tickling moments. And once again, if you should somehow see in this fictitious couple a little bit of yourselves or even someone you know, then it is only because all of us in probability also exist together. So once more, sit down to help make yourself comfortable... a glass of your favorite within reach also couldn’t hurt. Maybe even putting your feet up will help us to get ready as before while preparing to pick sides from where we left off in book number one. And hopefully, as has been pointed out to us on more than one all-too-often occasion, we shall relate for you not only our latest hopefully rib-tickler, but maybe, as we have come to believe now, even yours.
