Commentary for October 4, 2014:

I know it's a cliché, but it's a delightful one, to have villain team-ups inevitably end in betrayal. Hence why I'm not even trying to make it a surprise. What will be interesting is how the Empire plans to betray Kochanski and his followers. But you'll have to keep reading to find out.

Addendum for December 12, 2019:

In order to bring the format of the earlier chapters into line with Chapter 7 onwards, I’ve made an updated version of this page, which is larger, with clearer text. Hopefully, this will make the earlier chapters easier to read.

I’d just like to say that, even before the revisions I’ve made to these two pages, I was very pleased with this conversation and it is still one of the moments of Eon’s World that I am most proud of. Eon’s World is very much a plot-driven story, rather than a character-driven one, but I do relish the opportunity for characters to have moments like this, where we can see a bit more of who they are as people, rather than just what they do in the story.

I like to think I do get across the kind of people my characters are through the plots they’re wrapped up in, too, but the kind of narrative I usually go with doesn’t always afford many chances to stop and ask what do characters ABC think about XYZ? I know, I’m the writer and I ultimately set the pace of the story and if I wanted twenty pages of Kochanski debating philosophy and politics with Horatio, I could do that. I just don’t think anyone but me would enjoy that.

Heck, I doubt I’d even enjoy that.
