A lot of quotes from your books come to my mind fairly often (I didn't vote for him), but the one I find most profound is at the end of Brothers. Miles - "Straight-Up good guys and bad guys". Elli - "Great, which are we?". Was this just a fun line or did you see it as much deeper like I do? I watch a lot of violent fiction (bad CIA etc) and find it very discouraging for there to be so many real conflicts now

Beyond being a funny quip for that moment in the story, I suppose this one has its deeper roots in me having been a youth of the Vietnam War era, when America came down off its hero-high lingering from WWII, in a lot of unfun ways.

Don't know if you have control over this but can you do anything to add chapter divisions in audible books? Doing one of my frequent re-listens to the V series and up to Mountains of M. Since I have it in Borders, chapter markers would help me get right to it. Also, some of the Pen novellas would be easier to navigate with them when I lose my place

I just read this in my local paper and I wondered what your thoughts were: "Opinion: Publishers are blocking your access to e-books at local libraries?" https://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2019/10/opinion-publishers-are-blocking-your-access-to-e-books-at-local-libraries.html

How did Barryar not have a population crisis after the time of isolation with scads more women escaping to freedom in other places? It seems like you wouldn't have to be a mercenary to get away, there'd be a thriving human trafficking operation going on like in the former Soviet block countries where women would rather be prostitutes or mail order brides to men in less heinous countries than to stay where they are.
