Kevin Maroney said of the surprise of finding Horn the narrator:
 >I noticed it and assumed that it was a copyediting mistake until I got to
>the end!  I don't know what that says about me.

I had the same reaction.  I also felt I had missed some clues along the way.
 Did I?  I must have, for surely Wolfe would not have switched to first
person Horn at the end in order to provide a vehicle for a new series.  How
does one go from Silk's epiphany to Horn narrating the tale?

I'll have read more carefully when I again reread the Long Sun series.
