Definitely BTC! No question on that one!
I found _"The Number of the Beast--"_ an enjoyable read (and you should
read its parallel, _The Pursuit of the Pankera_), but I couldn't really
'connect' it (or PotP) to Traveller, which is sort of where "Off the Table"
needs to be. If you've got that connection, definitely send it on!

I'll refrain from commenting on the editing, or lack thereof, of late
Heinlein.
