Sean's, Trevelyan's And Joachim's POV's

The Peregrine, CHAPTER XIII.

First, we must correct an error. I stated in:

Consciousness And A Vortex

- that, in CHAPTER XIII, the narrative point of view shifts from Sean to Trevelyan, then stays with Trevelyan until the end of this chapter. It does not. 

"The hyperdrive went off. Joachim must have signaled for that." (p. 115)

Trevelyan, and Nicki with him, know that Joachim must have signaled for the hyperdrive to go off. Trevelyan sees stars, sees Nicki and remembers Job 38:12. So far then, the narrative is still with Trevelyan's pov.

However, after what should really have been a double space between paragraphs, Joachim becomes our acting character. He looks out at space, asks where they are and engages in conversation with Ferenczi. When Ferenczi tells him to look through a port, Joachim sees a nearby red star and:

"Its luster hurt his eyes." (p. 116)

The pov has shifted to Joachim with whom it then remains. Indeed:

"He saw Trevelyan and Nicki by one of the ports. They were looking at each other, eyes into eyes, hands clasped. Briefly, Joachim smiled. Whatever happened, life went on." (p. 117)

Far from remaining the narrative viewpoint character, Trevelyan has become an object of Joachim's amused observation. "...Joachim smiled..." could have been observed by someone else. However, "Whatever happened, life went on," is Joachim's inner reflection which can only be recounted from his pov.

If there are four characters on a spaceship bridge, then five coherent narratives become possible:

an entirely objective account of the ship's motion through hyperspace, then through the trepidation vortex;

how Joachim experiences all this;

how Ferenczi experiences all this (in fact, in this case, we are not told any of Ferenczi's experiences);

how Trevelyan experiences all this;

how Nicki experiences all this;

(and so on if there are more characters.)

An account that jumps between povs does not present any of these parallel narratives.
