Posthuman Blues

D'oh!

I misread the damned article! It clearly says that the tourists' message was similar to the strange "CROATAN" inscription. In my obviously hasty reading, I thought the Sahara disappearace and the Roanoke disappearance were the same event. In my defense, I had never heard of the Roanoke event before. So I'm not merely historically ignorant, but idiotic enough to get a science fiction book confused in this...

Having said that, "Cosmonaut Keep" is good stuff. MacLeod can write.
