Your comment came to my email for approval(?!) - a setting of which I was unaware. It has posted now and I'll change the setting.
Dart's expression on the new cover is currently being amended to a grin - your feedback is the same as mine was to the artist!
As for (Rene) Descartes - 17th century French philosopher with a very famous quote that relates to the concept of a machine being equal to a person ;)
Finally - thank-you very much for recommending DART on the recent poll. Every bit of support helps!
I recently saw your blog post and tried to comment there but I'm not sure the comment was posted. Anyway, those covers are awesome! Although I think a smirk would look better on Dart ( maybe turn up the corners of his lips a little?)As for the question: My memory really, really sucks!! I'm trying hard to figure out who Descartes was. Was he the former Slyth leader? Or the leader of the first settlers? And the Slyth did not agree with him so the formed a different community... This is as much I could guess from my not-so-good memory. Maybe I could use a reread!
Also looking forward for that readers competition. I'd love to get a signed copy from. Keep writing awesome stories!
