New Frontier, which doesn't count.) And it's the second-shortest in terms of words, after
Incident at Arbuk, which is the one I completed just before this.
And this one's a
giant novel, no less. So I may still be too long, but I am getting shorter.
(It looks as though the trend will probably not continue with the next one I do, however. We'll see.)
