And that is the final chapter ...

... of this 'ay''a'. There's a final 'ay''a' coming to wrap up loose 
ends. I DO intend to reveal what the song is about. I considered not 
sending any more until qep'a', but there's just enough time to send 
them all now, so I'll try to do it.

I have to keep telling people what my novel is "about" but it's hard 
to say. I say things like, "It's called nuq bop bom, which means 
"what is the song about?" but it's not a quest story. The search for 
the meaning of the song is a theme, not part of the plot. The story 
is about ... a crew trying to preserve their ship, another crew 
regaining their honour, and a love story, plus violent battles, and 
honour and redemption. Lots of redemption."
