Wolfe and Brust, compare and contrast ;)

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.

You *have* to read at least one of his novels.

_Brokedown Palace_ is pretty indirect.  It might be the closest to say
_Short Sun_.  Brust channels Dumas very well too -- I was reading recently
that Dumas's dialogue is as it is merely because he was paid by the word.
