Oh, boy. That AI excerpt dives into the realm of total fiction just about halfway through sentence 3. Unless I wrote 'Betrayal of the Brotherhood' and 'The Cost of Greed' in my sleep, or something? Also-- I have a son?!
And you didn't read the first version, which said you'd done the Betrayal story and were going to do a kickstarter this autumn.

With the latest Edge update, you can read pdf files in your own language. I tested it with Team Zell, which I converted, and the result is decent from English to French, especially when you're too lazy to read in English. For the moment I don't have the impression that there's a limit to the size of the translation we're allowed to use, but according to copilot for the moment microsoft doesn't limit its translation tool like deepl does. I'm not usually a fan of the dematerialized format, but for foreign-language reading, it's a strong point. Spoiler: +

I just finished the book. It was super enjoyable and I also liked that this book was written from a sole perspective. It was great to learn more about Caledonia. They all are doing a great job expanding the Infinity Universe. I am really looking forward to the Haqqislam book!
