Kicking Crichton's pants

No Quarter came in at No. 28,755 on Amazon yesterday (May 18, 2006), beating out perennial bestseller Michael Crichton and his Great Train Robbery at No. 28,767. On the other hand, No Quarter was hogtied and slapped around like a redheaded stepchild by The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage at No. 28,753. And, erm, we kinda liked it.
