Talk:Orphans of the Sky

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I know of an off-site review of this page at http://srehn.com/books/rh_universe.html but I feel it would be dishonest for me to link to it because it's on my site.

If anybody else feels it's appropriate to put that link there, do so, but I won't.

[edit] Expanding the stub

I've added more plot summary information in an attempt to evolve this article out the the stub-stage. I am not finished and will be returning soon to complete it. :: Jim Dunning 21:31, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Synopsis

It seems to me that, logically speaking, references to "inner" and "outer" are reversed in the plot synopsis. But, I haven't read the original in many years, so I can't verify that. Anyone agree/disagree? gnfnrf 00:03, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I do believe you're right. For example, it says, "Hugh is captured and taken to the low-weight, outer, Mutie-controlled levels." However, the outer levels would be high-weight due to the centrifugal effect, and the Muties actually live in the "upper" levels, which would be toward the center axis of the cylinder (and therefore low-weight). I'll try a rewrite. Thanks for the heads-up!
