Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning!

    @fred: credit where credit is due. On your picture, you can see that the intruders are Australian Aborigines. Which wasn’t obvious from either the copy with which I was presented, or from every one of the editions, it seems.

    The sequel: The Bright Dark Water
    The far future world scifi sequels: The Light Heavy Water and The Heavy Light Water

  9. infoqueen Says:

    Further sequels: The Dry Wet Darkness. (Although that sounds more like a personal/medical issue…)

    The Big Small . . . Unicorns!

    It’s a cross between The Dark Light Years and Ring of Bright Water. So it’s a Generation Starship full of otters.

    Otters!

    “Ow! My hand! It burns! The pain!”

    I like to think of this as a still from the future “dark and edgy” reboot of The Hobbit.

    “Please try describe the crime scene.”

    “Yes, Officer. I saw a body on the road… it was bright dark… or maybe dark bright.”

    “Huh?”

    “And the body wore dark bright pants and a bright dark coat.”

    “Say what?”

    “I think I saw a car escaping the crime scene… it was bright dark with dark bright taillights.”

    “[Sigh] You’re not very bright, are you?”

    “I would describe myself as adequately bright dumb.”
