\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Christmas brought me a few more stereo viewers including the rare Junior RoMo<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. This means I have a least one example of the three types but not in all the colours. It was while looking at variants I came across the Graf from Dole Jura, who normally made cheese, who licensed their version from RoMo. I also discovered the Lestrade and annoyingly bought one then two days later seven appeared for the same price and with more cards!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

I’m hoping that someone out there knows something about the author Simon Finch (was that his real name?) Unfortunately Simon Finch is a more common name than I though and searches have thrown up many Simon Finch’s including the book dealer but not the author. PAN published four of his titles including the ‘Voyager Trilogy’<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span>.<\/a> The second title ‘Pagan Voyager’<\/span> <\/strong><\/em>was published by Bantam in the US and retitled ‘The Pagan’<\/strong><\/em><\/span> The covers are by three well know names with the artwork for ‘Golden Voyager’<\/span><\/strong><\/em> being recycled from the Fawcett edition of ‘Rogue Roman’<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
