Much appreciated John. The Cruel Stars does it for me...but not as much as the Axis of Time. You gave us a teasing extract from the new AOT a while back, with a major war just getting underway and then - nothing. Getting seriously impatient here.

What a revelation for Lucinda, to come to a place that gave her true equality for the first time in her life. No wonder she is RAN forever.

A most excellent way to spend my lunch today was reading this excellent short story.

Just finished The Cruel Stars this evening, so this made a nice addition. Of course, now I'll have to buy The Shattered Skies and patiently wait for The Empty Heavens next year.
