I read them about a month ago. The story is a little bit too much "Good 
guys wear white (gray), never hesitates about anything except when they 
fall in love, and always finds a way to pull a rabbit out of a hat. Bad 
guys are ugly, cunning, kicks small kittens just for the fun of it, and 
wants to take over the universe(s)."
But otherwise it's a good story, and well worth reading if you like 
older S.F. Just like Eric Dittman, I used a gnutella client to find the 
books.
