I read it and posted a brief message in April of this year or thereabouts. The only thing I have to add to what you say is that it's based on a specific Lafferty story, "You Can't Go Back," which is also about a small, low-flying moon with the same or a similar name (I forget which). I couldn't make anything of the old man and the woman with the baby. Your suggestion about the Pendragon's son sounds plausible, but I don't have any evidence to back it up. --Adam *More Wolfe info & archive of this list at http://www.urth.net/urth/
