I had impression that MT border was near, but seems story would tell us if home was over the border versus just near it.<br /><br />2. The passage of the ship to Drai and the timing of the start of drug smuggling is murky, perhaps on purpose. Perhaps the previous ship owner also smuggled drugs, or at least traded to consume them. Also unclear how Drai got the ship. Was it really inheritance or violence? <br /><br />3. I don't quite understand the economics supporting Drai off of a few thousand doses of tafacco a year. Sure, the Pt/Ir is free but what about rocket fuel and other supplies for the team? Also if the supply is so tiny, not sure why Rade would care to the extent of sending several undercover agents.<br /><br />4. I quite enjoyed the simple inorganic chemistry performed by Ken.
