   I guess it's not impossible for this to be in the same universe as   
   Courtship Rite, but since the two are divided by a vast space of   
   space and time, the connection would be rather academic.   
      
   I thought Courtship Rite was in the same setting as Shipwright and   
   the never-finished Finger Pointing Solward but I am not sure where   
   I picked that up.
