> Brust is allowed to make mistakes because his mistakes are > impossible to distinguish from his evil plots. Brust has evil plots?!? No, it can't be! And here I thought he was just a harmless kind, sweet writer who wished nothing more than to be candid with his audience. The illusion has been lifted. I shall never again look upon his work with open-eyed wonder, accepting everything given as straight fact. I will have to carefully reread everything with a critical, sceptical eye.... The dastard!
