	Oh, I'll agree Mazian himself wouldn't, but I could see him getting
the others to at least risk going in to get a shot at Cyteen ("Tom, do this.
For *me*, Tom" :-)
	I want a book giving some clue as to what Mazian *did* do! Did he
withdraw to the far side of Earth when Union whipped his ass there? We all
know what's on the far side of Earth...

	Mea culpa, the old memory's going. However, are Union's pilots really
not as good? Surely they are all just the best pilot (nope, that's not a typo)
Union has? Is it not that the Fleet pilots just do mad things that no sane
person would want to do (and Azi are nothing if not sane)?

Hey Seth, you still out there? We seem to have strayed from _Chanur's Legacy_
d'you want to pull us back?
