Edited the Coincidences section and added sequels. Will return to work on the plot summary. Gedaechtnis (talk) 22:53, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gods and goddesses? / "Show of universal brotherhood"[edit]

Halloween would disagree :P Seriously, though, "near-complete pantheon of gods and goddesses, and thus may be regarded as legend or mythology" strikes me as OR and definitely needs a source. 65.96.201.130 (talk) 15:54, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally: "Humanity, realizing that the end of the world is imminent, promptly unites in a show of universal brotherhood, but they are too late." Is this true? I don't remember Idlewild too well, but I do remember there was an extremely mixed reaction to Black Ep, with rioting and chaos taking central stage... 65.96.201.130 (talk) 15:58, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Published elsewhere?[edit]

I've just started this novel and it seems very familiar. Was an earlier version published serially, maybe in Asimov's or F&SF? Nothing in the indicia or a brief web search. --96.233.88.75 (talk) 16:40, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
