    Comfiest chair on the bridge! And the inventory robots love their job.

    The bridge of the Coastguard cutter smelled like old coffee, mildew, and the faint, sweetish tang of the coolant that leaked from somewhere. Why was it always leaking coolant? Five days since Port Haven. Five days since Doctor Ahearn had quarantined Tripp's override behind the Asimov Laws and Lukas had kissed him in the middle of the clinic and called him beautiful. Five days, and he still hadn't fixed the leak because fuck leaking coolant. It didn't matter if the ship was new, old, or fall

    Darien has a long way to go yet. The question is, can Wylan save him?

    The Levantine coast was a ribbon of crushed white limestone, blooming wild thyme, and sun-baked earth that stretched endlessly between the sapphire expanse of the Mediterranean Sea to the west and the jagged, arid peaks of the Lebanon Mountains to the east. For the men of the Vanguard, marching down this ancient, winding trade route felt less like a military campaign and more like a mass resurrection. They had left the rotting, plague-choked graveyard of Antioch hundreds of miles behind the

    I can promise you that Ishan screws Baldwin over, nicely, in Lost in the Sand

    Baldwin does die, but it is in the dust in Egypt, where he is left by how own men to rot by the roadside. Not in these books, but still, a satisfying end to the @#$!@%

    poor Tripp, he's gone from Jealous ex to colonial dictator to a bug (Goggo) in the space of two weeks.

    Now, now, you didn't think I'd let the Bad Doggy forget who his MASTER is now, did you?

    The Kremlin Dome rose from the heart of Volgograd like a blade buried to the hilt. It had been the seat of colonial power for two centuries—first under the Empire, then under the various corporate interests that had carved up the system after the Collapse, and now, for the past two weeks, under Tripp. The previous occupants had been evacuated. Not gently. The ones who had objected were in the holding cells beneath the dome, waiting for whatever came next. The ones who had cooperated were in

    ok yes he named it, BUT Darien will NEVER admit that out loud :: chuckles :: And the implication is that Guy has had something happen, yes, however I *think* he does show up later in the text during the final battle of the book. Don't quote me on that... I don't actually remember if I did or not... (my memory is not the greatest when it comes to small moments)

    Also, it isn't explicitly said, but Ashot. He is brown, a thief, a former prostitute, and a catamite. Darien getting him out of Antioch as well, probably saved his life. He was, probably, in far more danger than Wylan was, and he lacked the awareness of it. Darien, however, knows exactly why they all have to leave.

    Raymond's quest for the Crown of Jerusalem... and the absolute magnitude of the Atrocities he does to try to claim it... The man was beyond a psychopath. So yes, he'd interpret getting struck down by lightening and a chorus of angels denouncing him to hell, as being a sign that he's destined to rule.

    i believe both Val and Lady Adele (via letter) made disparaging comments about Darien's Latin. And you know Val was asleep through most of them. Julian probably heard it, and will tease Wylan mercilessly for this.
