“Theft is a long proud tradition for many museums.” Again, I appreciate the social commentary in Chambers’ books, and liked this one better than the last one of the Wayfarer series. The idea of some diverse sapiens working together, getting to know each other and their customs, disagreeing and arguing with each other, all because they were trapped by unforeseen circumstances, it was just the kind of thing that I think Chambers does best.
