So I got an old copy of ‘Capitol’ and always thought it was the same stories that were in ‘Worthing Saga’ but noticed that some were missing. I’m about ¾ of the way though and wow… what a book. One thing though. ‘A Thousand Deaths’ I have a thought. Wouldn’t that be true immortality if you just had yourself taped into a younger clone of yourself when you got older? Ok, maybe not true immorality, but even closer then just sleeping away a bunch of years. I guess it’s a story that’s been sort of done. But OSC could of course do it better!

I'd suggest reading 'Fat Farm' from Maps in a Mirror.
