Ford and Conrad actually have three collaborations, which I have read and enjoyed.
_The Inheritors_ main theme is a common one in Ford's writings--the replacement of the old ways in England by the new. In this story, it's by aliens, in _No More Parades_, it's by the new technical classes in England. _In The Good Soldier_ and others, it's by Americans.
_The Inheritors_, in spite of the blogger's comments, is not hard to find. Abebooks has over 400 copies available, so I don't know what he is suggesting.
