Also the subplot of Queen and Russian classic rock songs as prophecy and commentary (not as explicitly as in Tom Deitz), which make a soundtrack for the reader. I’m more sympathetic to leaving this out (cheaper, less rights-wrangling) but it was fun. (And I learned about Russian 70′s rock because of it.)

Ah, well. Someday it’ll be a musical, probably, and then we’ll have emotion to spare. Also a really good bass part.

2. The novel is a lot sadder and more serious without all the fannish and pop culture jokes, but it also misses a lot of pointed satire of Russia’s semi-embrace of Western culture in the early 90′s. Since this is one of Lukyanenko’s big concerns in his novels, that’s a big shame.

This producer seems to have not been inclined in that direction. Alas.

FYI – Pilgrim Series 4 is the latest Series (4 episodes). It aired weekly on BBC-R4 Afternoon Drama from 21 Feb to 14 Mar 2013.

having let a few people listen to both side by side, general consensus has agreed with my opinion on this.

Copyright Renewal Registration Number RE0000190631 appears to be the first fraudulent document created and filed with a government agency in a scheme to conceal the copyright status of 25 literary works by Philip K. Dick with intent to be continuously used to deceive and defraud people and businesses financially and to deprive people of their First Amendment rights under color of law.

Copyright Renewal Registration Number RE0000190631 appears to be a materially false statement made with intent to be referenced and otherwise used to create more instruments of criminal deception, conceal many false representations in existing and future business contracts, conceal false representations in future documents (sometimes filed with the U. S. government or state governments) and the basis for abusive, extortionate and otherwise threatening communications with people in the form of letters of demand and/or cease and desist letters.

Copyright Renewal Registration Number RE0000190631 appears to be a falsified document which has been used and continues to be used to criminally monopolize interstate commerce and international commerce and artificially raise prices of more things in more ways than is immediately apparent.

Copyright Renewal Registration Number RE0000190631 appears to be the basic fraudulent document relied on to commit fraud against the United States, individual states and local governments including but not limited to cheating military and public libraries which have purchased books and other materials at artificially inflated prices due to false claims of copyright in public domain works.

Copyright Renewal Registration Number RE0000190631 and its spawn appear to be used to violate state and federal laws such as the three cited below and due to the continuous nature of violations it seems the applicable Statutes Of Limitations and Limitations Of Actions for some of the violations have not expired.

It’s like saying, “Oh, yeah, this independent Congressional investigator happened to be passing through town, and the police and sheriff’s office instantly handed over all their power to him!”
