> OK, this is more of a teaser than anything, but it's a fun little read. I will also point out that I have promoted Seth Dickinson's short work several times on this forum, cuz he's an incredible Rationalist author, and I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on this book.

> I recently finished reading [Dire Worm](https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/dire-worm-worm-au-oc.300816/) and, based on this fictional Q&A, Baru reminds me a lot of said fanfic's main character (minus a few slices of ham)

> EDIT: The story isn't complete. I say finish to mean I read it from beginning to its current point, which I would approximate at around 55 chapters (forum posts)
