I thought of yet another question, but it may be simply a form of
Talon's--if you (mantis) are going to edit these questions, you might merge
this with his:

6) Was the Whorl ever a legitimate colony ship, or was it always a Middle
Passenger (not slaves for the colonies, but livestock for the inhumi), with
a cargo sold by Typhon?

I suspect Wolfe won't answer that question, as I foresee it as a plot point
for the new series, but it's worth pondering.

alga,

	Nice twist. I like it. I always thought Typhon held his empire 
together using the FTL ship(s) of the Hierodules.
