Whether or not you believe generation starships will ever be a viable concept (an argument most recently engaged by Kim Stanley Robinson in Aurora), the stories are never going to go away: the notion is just too useful in too many ways. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With open-ended feelings left to the be resolved with Celia, the story becomes more complex among these six characters. Lucien is now married to Phyllida while Richard is happily single. As an employee, Celia has no choice but to attend, as well, when she accompanies Lady Yancy. She has been invited to attend the wedding event of Sebastian to the youngest member of the Redvers family, Antonia. The story flashes forward ten years and all the characters are now in different places in their lives, but will be thrown together again.Ĭelia Trent is now Celia Pelham, a widow, who now works for Lady Yancy. Last, there is Phyllida Singleton, who is Richard’s friend and sometimes dance partner. Their connection is left somewhat vague at the beginning, but becomes more apparent as the story moves forward. Celia is intangled with Sebastian Fanshawe, the Duke of Dowden. Lucien is courting Celia Trent with plans to propose, while Richard is attracted to Celia, but does not act on it for his brother’s sake. Readers are first introduced to twin brothers, Richard Redvers and Lucien Redvers, the Earl of Davenport. ![]() The story begins in 1818 at the Duke of Sanford’s ball where the four main characters and the fifth important one are all introduced. Unlike Notorious (#1) and Outrageous (#2), this novel expands the main “cast” by including the stories of two couples that are closely intertwined compared to the other two that did one.

It’s also the story of a century-long feud-seen through the eyes of a 177-year-old witch-that Sogolon had with the Aesi, chancellor to the king. In Moon Witch, Spider King, Sogolon takes center stage and gives her own account of what happened to the boy, and how she plotted and fought, triumphed and failed as she looked for him.

Shoehorning as many recognisable faces and acclaimed visionaries as possible is as good a chance as any at adapting one of Thompson’s lesser known books. Seeing what he gets up to in the 1960s of Cuba should have been a lot of fun, but instead we’re left dragging ourselves through a truly redundant movie. Taking apart one of the authors lesser known works and adapting it for the big screen is surely a risky decision to make, right? Still, who cares, I went into The Rum Diary hoping for another fix of the lovably drunk, scarily drugged up writer.
