[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2956369, member: 2205"] I am not familiar with it. But--hey! My local public library has it! Guess what my newest research project will be? :D As to your second question; I'm not entirely sure. I hadn't given it much thought. In fact, I guess I had kinda assumed that I'd make it common knowledge; if nobody has more than a few dozen generations--maybe a few score--before they can find an ancestor that came from somewhere else, at least in legend, and everyone knows that no matter where you go you see ruins of this gigantic city, then I had kinda thought that the nature of the world might just be common knowledge. with the puzzle being [i]how[/i] it got to be that way, who/what and where are the original builders. Whew. That's a long sentence. But you've given me a great idea if that's not true; what if they actually can get into orbit?! What if there's a "gate" somewhere that leads a small moon (or ancient space station... heh.) in close orbit where you can actually see the city covering the entire globe? Yeah; I cribbed one of your better lines. I still have a few posts to go (work's been somewhat busy for me, so I can't sit and read for hours like I'd like) though. Still enjoying it immensely.
