That he can keep in any semblance of thought-order such whirls of words is something to marvel at.

FINIS was released as a booklet the year of his death and has never been reprinted before.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51235477160209,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51235479290129,"sku":"NIN9780988553668","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/098855366X.jpg?v=1750787970"},{"product_id":"might-is-right-book-kevin-i-slaughter-9781943687145","title":"Might is Right","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51679693209873,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51679693439249,"sku":"NIN9781943687145","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52590775271697,"sku":"NLS9781943687145","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1943687145.png?v=1749350296"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-kevin-i-slaughter.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
