Secret History
"I made it an ironclad rule that I
could not change or disregard
any of the recorded facts, nor
rearrange any days of the
calendar – and then I tried to
ﬁgure out what momentous but
unrecorded fact could explain
them all."

Planet Nine
“I arrived at the plot … by the method that astronomers use in looking
for a new planet— they look for ‘perturbations,’, wobbles, in the orbits
of the planets they’re aware of, and they calculate the mass and
position of an unseen planet whose gravitational ﬁeld could have
cause the observed perturbations — and then they turn their
telescopes on that part of the sky and search for a gleam.”

It’s unknown, whatever happens to me
from here on out, he thought with a
smoldering elation as untied the rope.
No book I ever read can give me any
hint. It may be that I’ll capsize the
boat and drown within ﬁve minutes, or
it may be I’ll live another twenty years!
