I would agree. The flaps/panels really try to sell this as one and it disappointingly is not. Better to have not mentioned HPL tidbits at all and left them as a pleasant surprise …

I don't think Woldercan is outside the galaxy. My statement was one of incredulity. I've since reread the last two paragraphs and suppose a great deal of time passed between them…

I've learned my lesson long ago about Gene's "typos" and "printing errors." "And then I entered the room" springs to mind... I was thinking about this last night. In the next to l…

I agree. But I'm not sure Cassie was doing all this by herself. I seem to have the recollection that Margaret was present during some of these events. In fact, with the safe epis…

The buccaneers were laughing at Chris when he asked if they'd seen Valentin, because Lesage had recently offered them a reward for Valentin and they thought that was why Chris wa…

I'm not sure about the other times she was left alone but if they did rape her they would have to kill her or she would kill them. And after what Chris did to Michet they wouldn'…

This is a good question. This implies there is more to Chris' history yet to be told. Perhaps Wolfe plans to write more. After all, Chris indicates revenge as being one ot the tw…

Yes. Sorry I was being lazy and abbreviating. I meant those who had FTL capability. Wow, maybe that's why I didn't remember it. He never does that! And now I see why... Simple,…

I think that is good evidence for how long it took to construct the Whorl, which reinforces my point that Typhon hijacked it. It wasn't built specifically as a personal monument …

Three things: the fact that his mountain monument depicts Typhon with one head ("home" and his seat of power built during his prime) while two headed Pas depicts Typhon as he app…

I agree that Typhon would never do anything out of altruism. I'm not sure what you mean by "a world he already solidly ruled." Typhon was abandoned and besieged and was awaiting…

Lol. Actually reading Wolfe makes me feel very stupid and uneducated and it's through the effort of discovering these hidden connections that I feel slightly less stupid. :) And…

IIRC, Typhon said that Piaton's head could eventually be removed once his took over the basic bodily functions. Evidently he was deposed before this happened which was long befor…

Off hand I'd say Wells, Verne and Shelley would be a good start. I think that's what that class was attempting to do was reveal a similar parentage for cyberpunk by tracing throu…
