Hmmm...  I obviously missed a turn here.  I am a new ref, to all new
Travellers- is the above background regarding Santanocheev & Bolden-Tukera
pre-MegaTraveller?  If so, are the publications concerned still available?

Tukera?  Of Tukera lines perhaps?

(I *hate* missing the begining of a good story!)

Any 'lost' info appreciated.
