The Estate of Mr. Sheckley will be looking into this and other copyright violations that have occurred since Mr. Sheckley's death in 2005. I was a long time friend of Mr. Sheckley's and I know he would be appalled at the blatant thefts that are being done to his work. I urge everyone who respects the work of this and other writers to please refrain from republishing on the web copyrighted material. I know Mr. Sheckley's widow would be comforted by this as she is trying to use these works to pay off his debts. If you love Mr. Sheckley's writing that much, please consider buying a book containing the stories and not downloading illegal copies.
