Author’s Note: Apologies that it has been a while but since I do this in secret and since my wife thought a good use of my time on my paternity leave would be replacing all the baseboard trim in the house —in addition to the much more enjoyable time I spent with my son— I didn’t get the time to do this that I thought I would.
I think that Alberto may be up and coming as another favorite character of mine. The idea of stealing meteorite chunks like that left me howling!
Also, I'm excited for another chapter, as your insights to Mars have always been fascinating.
