<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">I am coming late to Wolfe so I am not sure how the books were written.</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">I was under the impression that BOTLS formed a singular entity and that BOTSS was a later book written in the same universe. <BR>
Essentially that Wolfe did not have BOTSS planned when he wrote BOTLS. This is why there is no hint of Neighbours in BOTLS (unless...Patera Pike's ghost?).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">But I stand to be corrected here, as I say I am not sure of the planning behind all this.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Returning to my questions though (and I think I can frame this differently): how long does it take the inhuma to breed/mature?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">I was trying to figure out how long it would take Jahlee to mature but there does not seem to be enough evidence in BOTSS to put much of a timeline on it.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">So, inhuma got on board the Whorl through actions of the Neighbours, possibly through landers/probes also. Did they breed on the Whorl or did they return to </FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Green before being transported to the Whorl again. What of the inhumas' ability to fly through the void? Is this a lie or can they survive in space?</FONT></P>

<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">The BOLS and BOSS are a single novel. The Inhumi are among several dangling threads that are not tied-up until the SS. J </FONT></P>
