This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

But how would the Latro series conclude?

He's already been home and forgotten all about it.

Now he's short his sword and (I misremember) does he actually remember his
sword or has he forgotten it?

I was hoping that Latro would get to India, where there are ancient
stories about really advanced technology (like machine guns and rocket
launchers, cloning, artificial wombs, several kinds of aircraft, nuclear
weapons ...).

I'll certainly read whatever Wolfe comes up with, of course.
