"Her knee connected to the parts that pushed his yelp an octave higher,"
Best line, hehe.
Very interesting developments. Clever stuff. So if Throne is out, does that now mean Jackie (great to know what happened there with her, btw) is out too and off with Samuel somewhere? Or do they remain trapped? I assume no, given what Thorne said after the scene break.
What happens after the Schnitzel is coming next week. Big reveal. Thorne is taking care of the aftermath from "The Deal," which is connected to what the others are doing somewhere else. What that is, we will find out in the next chapter.
"Touch me and die!" Why is that so hilarious to me , Alexander? Must be my latent, pent up inner hostility... Bellatrix may be the best character you have ever written.
"You and me? Did we...?” “Gross! You’re my Dad, you dickhead!” Ha Ha Ha!
So many great settings! The beach…it draws us in right away…Cairo! I haven’t been, only to the Red Sea resort area. Recently there was a photographer from Cairo highlighted in the NYT with some amazing scenes. Have you been?
I love all the consciousness thoughts and though sci-fi, makes me think about where our minds can go even if not in a pod. Have your read Egan’s latest featuring pods as well?
Thanks, Kate. I have been to Egypt (see last post) but not to Cairo. Need to go one day. I have not read Egan, you have a link per chance? Glad you're enjoying the tribulations of Carter. Big reveal next week!

The scene break, yes. "One year later..."

Yeah. Just so Bellatrix can materialize in there somewhere.
Oh, she's going to materialise, alright.
"Your brain’s so far down south, I’m surprised you can walk upright.” Genius insult!
Thanks for reading, David! Glad you liked it. Ah, yes that line, words as sharp as her blades, that Bellatrix. How will this end for the two Thornes?

Glad you enjoyed it, Sharron! And what can I say? Bellatrix is one wickedly sharp-tongued lady, who’s working through some stuff at the moment.
So many great settings! The beach…it draws us in right away…Cairo! I haven’t been, only to the Red Sea resort area. Recently there was a photographer from Cairo highlighted in the NYT with some amazing scenes. Have you been?

Enjoying this story, Alexander.

The Candy House. Not the same at all, but some of the ways you discuss consciousness made me think of it.
Yes I know you were in Egypt but Cairo seems a different world! Cool.

Ahhh, The Candy House! Sounds interesting. It's good?
And yes, Cairo is something else for sure, have to go there sometime soon.
It’s good. Definitely.
Not as good as Goon Squad but interesting ethical questions.
Worth checking out then! Added. Thanks, Kate!
Bruce! Love that guy. He was great in Burn Notice, too!
