<div dir="ltr">Just on a personal note, speaking as a reader being acted upon by the text, the first time I read the short sun series I was completely floored by the scene mentioned below. In my experience Wolfe always reveals what's going on but you have to be open to seeing it. Even though I knew that Horn was dead, I did not want to believe it. I kept hoping for some kind of "deus ex neighbor," something to rescue the hero of this series. Reading Wolfe is a sort of game but, borrowing from Delillo, what's a game to make us feel like this?<br>

But after talking to Remora and realizing that he was Silk and that Horn was gone, he knew that he could summon Seawrack safely and get her away from Blue. (He was not Nettle's husband at all now, so he could call Seawrack even though Nettle was still alive.) <br>
