Well. That's interesting. Soundcloud doesn't like me uploading the cover to Just War - I've had to reupload it three times, and it's quickly removed.

So I have taken out the symbol featured on a particular flag, and hopefully that will let the cover stay in place now.

I'd never heard (or read) Terrance Dicks' 2013 foreward to the re-published "Shakedown" novel. An affectionate, plausible impersonation of his voice by Nev Fountain. One cannot quote Terrance without doing the voice! (This also applies to Gary Leigh and Ken Campbell.) ...Thanks, guys.
