I'm trying to understand Excession, but I can't get through this extremely obtuse book and understand what's going on where with who and why...

I never understood why the Excession was considered a good thing considering every ship that sent a probe into it was attacked forcibly taken over.

The feeling you get when someone walks on your grave? BBC news:

quote:

On Sunday, it was revealed the book - to be released on 20 June - would detail the physical and emotional strain of cancer.

It describes the final weeks of the life of a man in his 40s who has terminal cancer.

Speaking to the BBC's Kirsty Wark, Banks said he was some 87,000 words into writing the book when he was diagnosed with his own illness.

"I had no inkling. So it wasn't as though this is a response to the disease or anything, the book had been kind of ready to go," he said.

"And then 10,000 words from the end, as it turned out, I suddenly discovered that I had cancer."
