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.

Soldier of Arete' is out in paperback.  It's the second volume of
those "memories" (a rather appropriate term in this case).  It may
also end the series, unless Wolfe chooses to follow his protagonist
back to Latium.

Quite a triumph of intelligent writing.  Not necessarily _the_ faithful
rendition of the past, but at least not marred by imbecilic concessions
to the mindset of the present day audience.
