Hi SF fans,
Has anyone ever heard of "The Oleandre Trilogy"? The author is Don J. Fretland.
I have a problem namely that I have Part I ("The Persimmion Sequence", 1971) and
Part II ("Winds of the Heliopolis", 1972) but not part III which I think is
called "The Oleandre Solution". I can find no trace of it.
The publisher is Apollo books. I got an address for them in New York and wrote
to them but the reply came back that they were not the publisher. Is there more
than one Apollo books?
If anyone perchance had a copy with which they were willing to part or could
lay their hands on one, the price is negotiable!!!$$$!!!

This is, surprisingly, a rather common question. Common enough that
as soon as I saw the topic title in the directory listing, I knew
exactly what you were going to ask. :-)
The answer is that there was no part 3 ever published. Apollo Books
-- at least the one that published the Oleandre Trilogy -- went
out of business. They were never a big publisher, and probably issued
little more than a dozen books (maybe as high as twenty) in their
lifetime. Any current outfit calling themselves Apollo Books is
assuredly not the same one.

re .-1
Thanks for the quick response.
I was starting to suspect that the publisher had ceased to be. You
would think in that circumstance that the author would want to publish
the third anyway through a different publisher. Have you actually read
part 1 and/or part 2 (just out of curiosity)?

re:.2
It's possible that the author couldn't find another publisher to
buy it.
I've got the first two books, but I never got around to reading
them. I knew the third didn't exist and didn't want to frustrate
myself.
