[Glencook-fans] Further thoughts on A Path to Coldness...

Glen's writing style has always been rather abbreviated. I think it's a product of the genres he rights and the styles in vogue when he started writing. (A lot of mid/late 70s SF reads very similarly.) But Coldness seems to end really abruptly. It's almost like I didn't get the full book. I got the Baen ebook version back when Nightshade was still solvent. It ends with: "Varthlokkur fell asleep before he could ask where, thinking that that old devil always had one more trick. But today they had played a few of their own and had gotten several steps ahead." Is that right?
