The Silk Road Trilogy translation, of course. I’ll be away with no computer for the last couple of days before the deadline. But all but 600 and a little dollars of the needed $15,000 has been raised, and it would be a shame to miss when we are this close…

..to fund the Russian life- Kickstarter Silk Road trilogy translation project, with $4300 to go, or all is in vain. I think Q readers may make up a majority now! Consider digging in a second or even a third time– we are!
