I just finished Underground Airlines....just, masterful. The thought that you but into the DETAILS was captivating, insightful, and so realistic I am confused by one thing....I must be missing something key.......at the end of the book, you say: "I told her everything. I told her about you, darling. I told her the whole story"Who is "darling". What woman (I presume) is victor telling he told Martha everything?

Nice work Ben. Your book appealed to my dad, who is a retired volcanologist who rarely reads anything but mystery, and to me, a pretty hard core science fiction/fantasy poetry reader. I'm looking forward to reading more your work in the future. My question: Was exploring Culverson, as a character, the catalyst that kept you writing more than one book, or were you planning a trilogy from the get go?

Ben H. Winters:
I saw the question about Culverson. I'm not normally a 'dickhead question asker' and so I hope this isn't coming out that way...but I can see how it would. That being said; did I misread the Palace trilogy? I mean, I see Culverson as a Lester Freamon type. A quiet professional. Not at all the protagonist. Why would the aforementioned question-asker think that Culverson, of all characters, would be your impetus?
