George is in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold as much as he is in TSP. Also In order to have a trilogy you need to have three books. You are missing The Honourable Schoolboy from the Quest for Karla trilogy. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Paul Redman @ University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada | | | |"There is no one better than a good Englishman and no one worse than a | | bad one."--John Le Carre | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
