Robin Sloan Quotes

“Thank you, Teobaldo
You are my greatest friend
This has been the key to everything”

“We believe that when this secret is finally unlocked, every member of the Unbroken Spine who ever lived…will live again.”

A Messiah, a first disciple, and a rapture. Check, check, and double-check. Penumbra is, right now, teetering right on the boundary between charmingly weird old guy and disturbingly weird old guy. Two things tip the scales toward charm: First, his wry smile, which is not the smile of the disturbed, and micromuscles don’t lie. Second, the look in Kat’s eyes. She’s enthralled. I guess people believe weirder things than this, right? Presidents and popes believe weirder things than this.
