The eARC of Sharon Lee and Steve Miller's Dragon Ship was released recently. It starts to bring together the main Korval storylines with Theo Waitley's. It does NOT finish many of the ongoing threads, so be ready for that. The sequel won't be out for a few years either. Darn it.

We will get several other Lee and/or Miller books in the meantime including the sequel to Balance of Trade and a side book that was originally codenamed "George" and is now called Necessity's Child.

Back to Dragon Ship. Theo takes on a shakedown cruise researching markets for Shan. Meanwhile, the ship Bechimo is teeing to decide if Theo is the destined captain or not. Win Ton (badly damaged by department of the interior) ends up in Bechimo's catastrophic healing unit.

A few other threads from Ghost Ship are continued, and we get good news on several characters.

I was very happy to see several reviews for a new book by Alison Bechdel called Are You My Mother? Her previous book, Fun Home, detailed her relationship with, and the hidden world of her father. This book focuses on her mother and Bechdel's ongoing therapy and analysis. I'm not that interested in psychoanalysis so some of the more advanced theories and digressions were lost on me. Still a very powerful and revealing book. By the way, it's actually a graphic novel.
