..such a cool metaphor when you realise they are wheels within wheels.
While I think it was obvious that not all on Ignus was as it seems, I really didn't see that coming. In many ways events on Trantor were more predictable - well, apart from *that* obviously. We have people of all sorts on potentially reckless paths, secrets properly foreshadowed yet still throughly surprising. Empire's arrogance and self-confidence a transgression against the gods by another name (look it up - 'cos Asimov had a novel named for what comes next). And Demerzel is either in for a mighty shock or is setting the stage.
Salvor continues to kick bottom. And also, give me an army of Beckies.
Adaptation is *hard*, man - and it is so good when it is so well done.
