Digest whorl.v010.n118

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.

I reviewed it from a Tor proof a couple of months back -- the review is=20
due out in the British SF Association's =3DVector=3D but I'll post it here=20
with lots of (mostly unnecessary, I hope) spoiler space if that's OK with=20
the list members.

Many answers are provided by the book, including the surprising way in=20
which Horn leaves Green and reaches the Whorl in a body whose likely=20
identity has already been suspected in discussion here.
