[edit]I'd like to split off the Lazy Gun stuff back into its own article. It's fascinating, but I feel too detailed for a book article. Guinnog 00:27, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Connection to Culture
[edit]Is there any hidden connection to the Culture as there is with Inversions? (I could not spot one with either but there apparently is with the latter.)--Lucifer 15:41, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- Erm, I don't think there is one (but am all-ears in case there is!). As I recall, AaDB is set far outside a galaxy, hence the civilisation's isolation. I'm pretty sure the galaxy isn't specifically identified as our's (unlike in Culture stories). A Google search should turn something up. Just need to avoid fancruft.

Merging with "Lazy Gun"
[edit]Since the Lazy Gun is a fictional object, and exists only within this single story, I agree that its article should be merged with this one, as a sub-section. Efalk (talk) 13:48, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
Seconded. Confuseatron (talk) 00:05, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Sounds Reasonable. Corhen (talk) 04:16, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Absolutely, merge with a redirect. Voiceofreason01 (talk) 16:46, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
- Done. --John (talk) 08:08, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
Without explanation, the entire section on the Lazy Gun has been removed. Frankly, that was the most interesting part of the book. Efalk (talk) 03:08, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
Broken links
[edit]I can't find the pages linked to any of the footnotes. I'll see if I can find suitable replacements if/when I get a Round Tuit. Isambardcat (talk) 12:58, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
Major spoiler
[edit]There is a major give-away in the first paragraph: the meaning of the novel's title. It has no place in a synopsis. I am removing it. Yunuswesley (talk) 01:07, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
