    Summary

    “You might want to review your contract,” Aventurine said, with an easy smugness that evoked pure Schadenfreude. “Funny little thing called a spontaneous travel contingency clause. Up to 80 hours of on-site consulting—paid, of course—if the asset liquidation specialist deems it economically valuable.”

    When the IPC’s newest Stoneheart drags Ratio along on a debt case seemingly for no reason other than his own amusement, Ratio wastes no time adding Aventurine to the list of people he’d strangle if it wouldn’t jeopardize his career. Upon their arrival on Xin-41, however, Ratio begrudgingly deems his contempt for the planet’s intellectual oligarchy stronger than his contempt for his insufferable colleague. Even more begrudgingly, he finds himself drawn in by the web of mysteries lurking not just within the Slinkans’ ivory tower, but within the depths of Aventurine’s dangerously inscrutable mind.

    Through deadly equations, volatile spices, and the ‘warning’ of a brutalized corpse left out under the summer sun, Xin-41’s insolvency reveals itself as something deeply sinister, with threads tying back to the early days of the IPC... and to one of the Intelligentsia Guild’s most infamous scholars.

    Summary

    “Truth is,” Tseng says, “I didn’t just bring you here to listen as I trash-talk Heidegger.”

    “Thought,” Reno says with a half-grin, “you brought me here to improve my vocabulary.”

    “Vocabulary lessons are helpful, but not necessary,” Tseng says. “There’s nothing wrong with your communication. Or your understanding.”

    Reno, suddenly abashed, turns his attention to his plate of fries.

    “I need you to retrieve a body,” Tseng says.

    Summary

    “You’re holding back,” Gawain said as they sparred, the staccato clangs ringing out across the courtyard. “You’ll have to put more into it, if you want to become a Rider.” His gaze sharpened. “That’s what you want, isn’t it?”

    “I’m a boy from a village not even important enough for a name,” Zelgius said, parrying. “I couldn’t.”

    “Why shouldn’t you get what you want?” Gawain said, pressing on. His blows rattled Zelgius’s bones. “As long as you’re willing to hurt for it.”

    “And Ashnard?” Zelgius had heard the rumors that Ashnard was not so married to hierarchy as his predecessors. He didn’t know if he believed them. He would look out of place next to Gawain or Lanvega.

    The line of Gawain’s mouth thinned. With a swift swing, he disarmed Zelgius completely. “As long as you’re willing to hurt.”

    Summary

    If you happen to have read another book about Edward Bear, you may remember that he lived with his friends in a wood called the Hundred Acre Wood. It was a small wood, and small things happened, the kind of things that happen to bears in places where even if elevenses are late there is always a little something for tea.

    This isn't that story.
