A Ghost Ship Read Along -- Chapter 1

I was thinking about doing a weekly chapter, at least of the sample chapters. Of course, if we're going to discuss it, I can pretty much guarantee there will be spoilers.

So at the very least, go over here http://www.webscription.net/p-1413-ghost-ship.aspx and read the sample chapters.

Who's up for dinner & conversation after Sharon & Steve sign at Uncle Hugo's on the 27th? Do we want to go out to dinner someplace and then retire to my house for more conversation and dessert? Should I make chocolate fondue?

It's a Poll

I need to take a poll (prompted by my dh). So I am going to ask, here and on facebook (where you can find me at Elektra Hammond), 3 questions.
1. Do you have a To Be Read pile?
2. If you do, approximately how many books does it contain? Be as specific as you like.
3. Do you work in a field related to writing/publishing?
If there is enough interest, I will publish a summary of the results.

Could it be a shout-out?

In Prodigal Son, Val Con warns Zhena Trelu about the Department of the Interior's agents:

"These people–they are not very careful. Sometimes, they hurt people, break things, when they ask questions."

Hurting people and breaking things. Now where have I heard that before?

Balance of Trade

Add to Memories Share
mad world
I just finished Balace of Trade, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and I'm having trouble fitting it into the timeline. There's all this Old Tech stuff that's never been mentioned anywhere else, which makes me think maybe this happened way before or way after the "core" series, and there's the idea of a Terran apprentice being so revolutionary, makes it hard to believe Anne Davis or Gordy Arbuthnot could have come on the scene yet (though admittedly, Korval doing something strange wouldn't necessarily have the same impact as a more "normal" House like Ixin doing the same thing). So where does Balance of Trade come into the series, chronologically?

Did I imagine this?

Add to Memories Share
I have a vague memory, possibly false, that somebody mentioned that some of the material originally cut from one of the books in The Agent Gambit (Carpe Diem?) has been put back.
If I didn't imagine this can anybody give me ant information.
Thanks.

Am I the Only One?

I've had MOUSE AND DRAGON on my nightstand for four days now.  I've picked it up, admired the pretty cover, read the back blurbs and the inside flap, hugged it, patted it, and showed it to my daughter (who keeps giving me the big puppy eyes that say "Hand it over NOW!"

What I haven't done is read  it.

Mind you, I desperately want to read it.  I've been waiting for years for this story.  I know I will love it. But...

I know how it ends. 

And I'm not sure I can stand falling in love with Aelli and Daav again and meeting baby Val Con, and knowing all the while what must inevitably occur in the final chapters.

Am I the only one with this bizarre problem?
