Getting back to topic, I think that _Orca_ is one of the more carefully
crafted examples of fiction that is itself aware of the
author-narrator-audience tension. Paarfi and Brust jousting in the Khaavren
romances, by comparison, only play with the concept.
_Orca_ is definitely my favorite book of the Vlad series, not only for
the above reason but also in the way the plot is resolved.

{Reagan's} presidency always reminded me of a remark made by a woman to
Heywood Broun following Secretariat's victory in the Triple Crown. After the
trauma of Vietnam and Watergate, she said, Secretariat had "restored her faith
in humanity." I like to think Reagan was the Secretariat of the eighties.
