Poul Anderson's
Operation Luna moves at a leisurely pace and celebrates American family life. We have seen Steve and Virginia Matuchek from their first meeting in the previous volume to their bringing up of three children and, in
A Midsummer Tempest, we will see their eldest, Valeria, as an adult. To complete the picture, "Loser's Night" includes Valeria Matuchek in a list of women with spectacular lives. See
Lives.
I have reread to the end of Chapter
37 on p. 338. There remain twelve more chapters in exactly one hundred pages. Now I need to check on our family activities in Lancaster this Sunday morning and afternoon. Normal service will be resumed after a short break.

Kaor, Paul!
The trouble with that perhaps too easy reference to Valeria Matuchek in "Losers' Night" is that we are not told of or shown any of those "spectacular" things done by her.

Sean,
Except going to the Moon and finding her way to the Old Phoenix?
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
Oops! I forgot about those things! I was wondering more of WHAT Valeria had done after gaining her Magistra degree.
Ad astra! Sean
