I'm 'bout halfway through the book so far. One question, though.
Who/what is Megaera??

Magaera is what is left of the AI that was created during the Secrets of Power
Trilogy that Dodger later named "Morgan." And as an AI in her own right
(though doubtfully what she was capable of) she is capable of LOTS of things.

If you are speaking of that really intense combat scene in the Matrix, and
Magaera suddenly notices Dodger is gone and her reciprocating action, you can
figure out the rest.

Considering all of the "Angels" are Otaku...

Having finished all but the GM section of the book, I'd pretty much come
to that conclusion.-grin-

I know. I was impressed, to say the least.

The Cast of Shadows,
(http://www.shadowland.org/RenrakuArcology/CastOfShadows.html) doesn't
shed much light on the subject.

"Megaera - Megaera's true identity is unknown, although Peregrine seem
sto believe that Megaera can be useful to the resistance in some
fashion."

Okay, sue me for not reading all the posts before I got the book.

Where could I find the missing chapters, and if they are unavailable
online (they're not on FASA's site any more that I could find), would
someone be so kind as to send them to me?
