<div>> I posted this question to this site, and I was wondering if anyone
here had any input? </div>
<div>> </div>>Is the Whorl also the Universal Transport in the Solar Cycle
by Gene Wolfe?<br>> <a href="http://scifi.stackexchange.com/q/14856/5828?sem=2"><a href="http://scifi.stackexchange.com/q/14856/5828?sem=2">http://scifi.stackexchange.com/q/14856/5828?sem=2</a></a>
<p>It can’t really be. The Whorl is a hollowed out asteroid, and has no
sails. The Ship has symmetric decks and sails. And the interior
descriptions do not match at all.
</p><p>Also the Whorl’s life is limited. After 300 years it is still
functional but not in great condition. </p></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div>And the Whorl is earthly tech. Not so with the Ship. </div><div><br></div><div>Didn't know there was a literary SE!</div></body></html>
