I've been listening -- again -- to the audiobook of "Captain Vorpatril's Alliance" and paying extra attention to Simon and Shiv's interaction. It occurred to me to wonder if Simon knew (from the Arquas) that the elevator to the bunker had been blown up and that was why he questioned the "marked clear" designation. Until the mycoborer, that was the only entrance, presumably. Or might that be one of your rare oops?

Simon questioned it because Simon questions everything; he's a naturally suspicious fellow. (Well, also by training and long experience. Rats, he smells them. At a great distance.) That ImpSec's records didn't match the facts-as-found could only be determined later; finding out why they didn't match will certainly be someone's job post-events.

Any chance of the story describing the episode "more than a simple assassination" that Miles mentions in A Civil Campaign? Or the one with a tenyearold girl as courier, mentioned in Komarr? Or are they doomed to be unvoiced backstory? Thanks for all the enjoyment you've provided already!

I find that several typos I reported on the Dendarii Mail List did not make it into the printed books. These include safeLy where safeTy is meant in Penric's Mission and several in other books up to a name change, two real typos, and a probable missing quotation mark in Physicians of Vilnoc. Where is the best place to report such findings?

Lois McMaster Bujold:
In the world of the five gods, how different are the afterlife experiences of the various gods? That is to say, if a person is taken up by the Brother, do they experience a truly different afterlife from someone taken up by the Daughter? And, as a corollary, do each of the gods have a separate "heaven" or is there one afterlife that may be affected by the perceptions of the god whose gate you came through?
