You're right! I just misspoke. Also, honestly, /The Galaxy and the Ground Within/ is IMO the least compelling of the series, but I'm more of a "space opera" fan and thus wasn't crazy about the calm, contemplative, almost-nothing-is-happening tone of it. Now that I analyze it this way, they kind of trend in that direction, with the Monk and Robot books being even more that way and /Angry Planet/ being almost pure space opera.
