This is a fictionalized memoir of Chesbro's life. To me it was an interesting read but the narrator's (author's) emotional distance made it rough going for me at times so I often set it aside for a while (thus the 4+ years to complete). The sections about teaching in the ARK unit were the most interesting to me but they also displayed a LOT of emotional distancing (which was likely needed in the context of a youth psychiatric correction unit)

Picked this up at the Black Cat bookstore in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Story about Skye at Deception Well. A good story about her and her other 14 / 15 year old friends. Introduces some of the history of humanity and the technology from the Nanotech Succession series.

After Lady Abigail Irene Garrett dies of old age her long time wampyr companion decides to return (alone) to New Amsterdam after 60 years ago. He makes new and renews prior acquaintances to help pull him from a deep ennui after long centuries of being undead.

I read all fourteen of the Mongo the Magnificent books starting in the mid 1990s. I'm currently reading Chesbro's Prism and decided I need to read them all again.
