It's funny. In my head, I still think of Manhunt as a fairly new story, so the fact that it's nearly old enough to vote messes with the aforementioned head a little.

Still holds up pretty well, though! If I do say it myself. There are a few awkward turns of phrase here and there, but I decided to stick strictly to remastering and not start trying to revise. That's a rabbit hole I just can't afford to go down...

I don't really count Split Infinitive because, with the best will in the world, most of it is pretty bad. (And I contradicted big parts of it in later pieces because I, uh... sort of forgot how a bunch of it even went. Whoopsie-doodle.) It rather cries out for replacement, much like Manhunt replaced Secrets, but at the moment I don't really have any idea how I would go about that. It's just a vague thought that it might be a thing that should be done sometime.

(Before anyone else brings it up, I should acknowledge that it's not the biggest stretch of his career that's underserved, by far. The Golden Age is extremely barren compared to the rest of the Exile and virtually all Future Imperfect. We know more about what he's been up to since 2388 than we've ever seen about what he, or indeed anyone, did between 1992 and 2288. But anyway.)

This thought isn't really going anywhere right now, but between reskimming Manhunt while remastering it, and picking up on Strange New Worlds, it's got me thinking about that gap.

You're not the only one, but it's also still one of my favorites between the CSI elements, Gryph and crew, and the general UF-ness of the whole thing. It's a fun ride.
