Chanthavar says:
"'I'm on the track of a ring which is trying to stir up the Commons and arm them. It's - Brannoch's work, of course.'" (CHAPTER TEN, p. 100)
What did I say a few posts ago? (I did not remember this from previous readings.)
This novel just became more complicated with more information both about the League of Alpha Centauri and about the Commercial Society which will require some additional thought. It is worth remembering that a civilization is not a conspiracy. There is not some small secret group that somehow manipulates everyone else although it can seem like that in some works of sf and this work leans in that direction.
Good night.

Kaor, Paul!
I don't believe in looking for plots under every bed--because all I'll find under them is dust! But, sometimes there are real conspiracies, and they can change history. Such as the Serbian Black Hand, engineering the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand in 1914.
Ad astra! Sean
