Notes

I had been a teenage McCaffrey completist, but once I’d read Sassinak – an engrossing space opera about planet pirates, orphan enslavement, naval training, in-ship subversion and space heroics with the totally magnificent Commander Sassinak (her only name) – I put the Dragons of Pern into a box and moved off into space with Elizabeth Moon.

"...the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) will also snap the first close-range pics of Apollo relics we've seen for three decades." But, of course, they still won't believe we've been to the moon...
