Does Erich's family play a role in his choice for/against Germany in The Downcast Wolves?

In the only scene where Erich's father appears, he's described just as a pair of hands.

The closest familial connection Erich has is with his Aunt Mila, who is really more of a surrogate parent. After he arrives at Rouhhenberg, we don't see much more of Aunt Mila, but the stethoscope that she gives him becomes something of a stand-in for her. To Erich, it begins to represent the alternate path he could have taken.

At first, that's a source of comfort, but the older Erich gets, the more seeing it frustrates him. The stethoscope becomes a painful object. What ultimately happens to it tells us a lot about the choices Erich has made and what he values at that point in time.(less)

Traveler in the Dark

I read Deirdre Gould’s Traveler in the Dark and I’m here to announce:

I liked it.

Every character in this book has doubts about their mission. Most of them fear what will happen if they fail to find a new home for humanity. But for a few, another question is just as terrifying: what if they succeed?

The situation is dire. What remains of humanity limps through the stars in a collapsing vessel called
