Also: what up with that cover? Was Jeffrey Jones having an off day or something?

Mm. Three, possibly four typos on the back cover alone. This bodes ill.

Very pleasantly surprised at the quality of writing. Why did they reorder this to be #7?

Short mythological tales strangely without moral.

Ragged Astronauts

Derek
Derek is on page 150 of 310 of Ragged Astronauts
A genocidal confict, the mass exodus to a nearby planet, and a vengeful, petty king.

Also: pi = 3, here, and humans have twelve fingers.

Add political maneuvering, a tense home situation, and ecological conservation. And a space program.

Thirty pages and already have suggestions of an unusual ecosystem, technology, hierarchical society, and imperialism. Impressive.

Derek is on page 100 of 162 of Winnie-the-Pooh
The boy is not showing much signs of appreciation or comprehension, but at least he enjoys the texture of the clothbound cover and the pages. I will take any available victory.
