	Two thoughts occur to me on the novel front.
	Her latest Compact book was fairly light-hearted and humourous.
She could carry on this vein and follow the adventurs of Haisi. Yes!
the "Inspector Cluseau" of the Mahendosat Secret Service. As he tools 
around the Compact trying to ingratiate himself to the kif, provoking
t'ca to parenthood, and accidentally proposing to a knnn. I am sure
Haisi and his bumbling, but good natured first mate, would make an
entertaining book.
	On the extreme opposite end of the spectrum I WANT TO KNOW WHAT
HAPPEND TO THE FLEET. I don't hold truck with the idea that they just fade
away into nothingness. Certainly given the subjective time dilation
of jumping they are still going to be around for a while. It would certainly
be a dark, depressing and throughly wonderful book about their decline
and last stand.

Translation:
