Try and Kill It

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.

That's another piece I've wanted to write for years:  a tripartite review
of Wolfe's *Pirate Freedom*, Lafferty's *Annals of Klepsis *(about a pirate
planet), and Tim Powers's *On Stranger Tides* (which, though I've read a
number of other novels by powers, I still haven't read this one).  Toyed
with calling the review 'Catholic Pirates Three!'...

Any standouts from your nautical readings?
