Summary
Set during the first five hundred days, before all goes pear-shaped. The question “does Hilbert have kids” gets derailed by the followup question “does Hilbert have sex, like, ever.” An extremely poorly-thought-out experiment follows. Plus, questionable fashion choices, Tom Jones, seaweed moonshine, and Eiffel’s mojo.

Summary
Maybe they were cannibals and cold-blooded killers. Maybe they were just poor suckers who didn’t get a better deal offered to them other than to pick up a weapon, to march under this or that flag, and to hold onto whatever joy and companionship they find until the day they stop a bullet.
Specs can’t know. She figures it best to treat the dead as though they loved and were loved in return. Even if the bullet they stopped was her own.

Summary
"Dola and her man found sons in every port of call, every shipyard, every tavern, every black-market den where sawdust was poured over the blood and piss on the floor. These sons of theirs might have dark or sallow or freckled skin; thick accents; missing limbs; tattoos or scars or none at all, just narrow shoulders and glasses pushed up on their noses. When Dola was pleased with them, she would tell them how strong the family resemblance was."
