[net.sf-lovers] Heechee Rendevous

bottom@katadn.DEC (04/10/85)

*****************************SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!*****************************

 I recently finished reading this book (heechee rendevous) and I found what
seems to be a couple of inconsistancies. First when Essie first compiled the
new datafan of Albert she distinctly said something to the effect that perhaps
she should have left out the gourmet cooking software and included Sigfried
Von Shrink. Then later when Albert goes bonkers Robin calls up Sigfried to
help diagnose Albert. Where was Sigfried hiding in that datafan?
 Secondly when Albert is bragging about how he found the slush dwellers ship
and consequently the Hechee he computed the number of seconds since the
original sighting and then using the speed of light he computed where the ship
should be. How did he know what direction to look in?
