(view spoiler)[I've read around 30 of your books. This maybe a off-topic question: I'm wondering about the underlying "Political philosophy" which appears in your books. It seems to imply that liberal views lead to bad results [the "cannables" of Portland], that Libertarian Capitalists are good, and only certain "deviations" are acceptable. Care to comment? (hide spoiler)]

Wow, Joel, I wasn't aware of that being in my books. The cannibals weren't meant to represent any particular aspect of Portland at all. It wasn't meant as any political commentary. I also wasn't aware of any economic ideology. I think Joshua felt that bad people suck and compassionate people rock. I'm not sure what liberal views led to bad results in the books. In The Nogud, it was a breakdown of civilization caused by a global cataclysm. And yeah, the cannibals are bad. And in The Dark Atoll, the coaches were bad. So... I don't think I intended any underlying political philosophy beyond "be excellent to each other." Thank you for asking.

Hi Marilyn. Is this the correct chronological sequence for the Jensen saga (8 series): Girls on the Hill, Shrine Maidens, Sea Nymphs, Lost in Time, Honest Attractions, Zephyr Genesis, The Castaways, Nogud Legacy? I don't mean as they were written, but rather as the events unfold in the 900+ years of this saga. I hope we find out about the Malaysian Pirates (Sea Nymphs 2) in the near future.
