“It’s worth the pain to have something to smile about, even if only for a moment.”
…like one of the proverbs in Boyd’s story… And here this Waggoner one is a startlingly and compellingly original story (to me, at least) of an aeroplane flight where the plane becomes a sort of Flying Dutchman ship, with symbiosis between it and the passengers, as it takes, in vague echo of the Boyd story, an explicit “feral” tontine for the protagonist passenger who tries sabotage, as the plane plans to attack a smaller plane, a “puddle-jumper” so-called, and again I am reminded of the Boyd story, with, in that story, the little plane that acts as a weathervane on a static pillar!
The detailed review of this book posted elsewhere under my name is too long or impractical to post here.
Above is one of its observations at the time of the review.
