I’m fully aware what a catastrophe the two “ending” posts of Foes & Rivals looked like:  they looked like shit.

My objective that weekend was to make an end; and, just for Nichole, I managed a poor one.

Do Gil & Mac really…?  What about Brunelli and Reilly?  Is all hope lost?  And what’s with Nike’s mystical bullshit?…

…are all questions I asked myself. And re-wrote, and addressed.  Each book is a challenge to myself; F&R was borrowing from Larry Niven:  how to destroy your own world?  To a large degree, I met that challenge.  And I’m never doing it again.  I’ve no idea what – or who – comes next.  But, no more misery.
