I had no problem with that either, however as much as I liked the
these series written by the original authors I could never get into
the Robert Goldsborough Wolfe books, or the Lin Carter/L. Sprague Camp
Conan books, John Gardner James Bond books, Robert Parker's Poodle
Springs. Outside of Max Collins finishing up Dead Street, I can't
think of any series that was taken over by a different author that I
cared for.
Btw. if I could've taken over the Nero Wolfe series, I would have had
the books narrated by Wolfe--a losing battle trying to compete with
Stout's voice and have Archie keep narrating them.
