Alga wrote some nice, interesting things - thanks Alga! Just a quick comment

Oh, absolutely. I mean, if Long Sun/Short Sun isn't designed as a
"precursor" to BOTNS in the way I tried to describe, then RttW is pretty
inept in places - eg the  meeting the young Sev in Nessus thing is just too
much like the kind of thing you find in over-extended sci-fi series, once
they have reached the flatulent stage.

I guess that's one reason why I'm hoping there's more to it ...
