Shipyear 65
Tripday 171
Fourth Shift
16.00 hours
In which Gordy seeks a dragon to accompany his tree.
I think this chapter heading also has an error in it. Several other chapter headings have said 16.00 hours, and they’ve all said Third Shift.
Shan’s approach to teaching piloting reminds me somewhat of his uncle’s in Scout’s Progress (or vice versa, when I’m reading in publication order).
I confess, I pretty much ignored the chapter headings, except that they sometimes told me we were about to read about someone who was not onboard, and then they indicated that we were back to the ship.
I had a twinge with the dragon, that suggested it was a foreshadowing of something more dramatic.
