My review for the Lost Story Song of Megaptera is up on Unreality SF.

the Chief Engineer isn't just superstitious, she's hyperstitious. It's a real pity to have put such clunky dialogue into her mouth, because she and the two engineer/guards are the only really fun characters in the story.

They almost walk away with the plot and I wish they had, because their parts were rollicking fun.


This!!

It was a real exercise in that XKCD cartoon, the one that says the more made-up words, the worse the story.

Those three characters needed something that served them better.

Yes! They need a Not-Companion Chronicle of their own!
