What are they made of?  How can they fly without bones?\n\nAdd that to the list of things in LS and SS that work a lot better if we\nassume low gravity... maglev cars, giant eagles, Flyers, dirigibles, SSTO\nlanders, godlings, the towers of Green...\n\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
