A new user ("E. S." <zoon33@h...>) tried to subscribe to this list,
but it seems that some of the gear is not working properly. Since we
know each other from the Tolkien mailing list, and I have no idea what
is happening, I will try to forward the message to the Brin-L list.(...) is part of the message that I edited out. Alberto Monteiro ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: E. S. <zoon33@h...> Date: 2013/5/16 Subject: RE: Brin-l List: How to join? To: ALBERTO VIEIRA FERREIRA MONTEIRO <albm...@centroin.com.br> (...) I haven't read Heaven's Reach in a while, but I don't remember the book answering these questions. Maybe some list members might know. Spoiler warning to anyone who hasn't read Heaven's Reach!! 1. When Gillian traded things with Uriel, did she take any rewqs? They'd be very valuable both for Earthclan and for that Hoon colony Alvin and Huck moved to. 2. Did we ever find out why Gillian wanted a herd of Glavers? I doubt they're legally available for uplift yet, but Contacting Aliens does say they haven't been spotted (in the other Galaxies) in 2000 years. Did she figure they might be the last of their kind, and want to prevent the Jophur from killing them all? 3. When Streaker and Polkjhy exchanged people and chunks of hull, did Lark and Ling give any of the red rings to Gillian? Those rings are a potent biological defense against Jophur invasions, so it'd be nice for Earthclan to have some. (It would hypothetically also have made it possible for Dwer to take a few back to Jijo, but I doubt David Brin would make things so narratively "easy" for Jijo.) 4. Lark saw an Urs on Polkjhy, stuck in an air bubble. Why would any Urs accept such a watery/confined fate? She'll be stuck in that little bubble for the rest of her life. Why didn't she go onto the Streaker while all those Dolphins were going onto Polkjhy? _______________________________________________ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
