I thought Horn was explicit about the monitor changing course based on the corpse.<br><br>

My biggest question throughout the whole book was the nature of Quetzal. I find it interesting that the heads of this church are a feathered serpent and an eel. I can't help but relate this to my feelings (which I've expressed here before, and apologize in advance to the faithful) that the Catholic Church has long been usurped by vampires of sorts. I'm sure I'm not alone in that feeling, and I find it extremely provocative that a devout Catholic would set things up that way. more testament to Wolfe's gutsiness. I can't help but feel that Quetzal was shepherding his flock to Green as food. talk about a blood sacrifice. I assume it was him who got Teasel early on.<br>
<br>I dunno. Had Quetzal ever seen the corpse of one of his own kind? If so, he'd presumably know what would happen and pick the planet he didn't want them to go to, right?<br></blockquote><br></div>So, you're saying the Monitor decided, after seeing his corpse, to change course. i thought that was vague, but yeah...<br>
but did he know he was gonna die? I should read that again.
