Mensurius | '''Mensurius''' | Mensurius was a bishop of Carthage in the early 4th century during the early Christian Church.Catholic Encyclopedia - Donatists
During the Christian persecution of Diocletian he evaded turning over sacred scriptures to the Roman authorities, but was nevertheless considered a traditor by Donatists. He was accused of "countenancing" the Traditors.Milman, H.H.: "The History of Christianity", page 367. John Murray 1840
In a letter to Secundus, Bishop of Tigisis, then the senior bishop of Numidia, he explains that he had himself had taken the texts from the church to his own house, and had substituted them for a number of heretical writings, which the authorities had seized without asking for more.Emilien Lamirande, La correspondence entre Secundus et Mensurius, in: Œuvres de Saint Augustin 32 (Bibliothèque Augustinienne) 1965, p728. But the proconsul, when informed of the deception refused to search the bishop's private house.
Secundus, in his reply, without blaming Mensurius, somewhat pointedly praised the martyrs who in his own province had been tortured and put to death for refusing to deliver up the Scriptures and that he himself had replied to the officials who came to search: "I am a Christian and a bishop, not a traditor." Some such as Petilian even considered him a thurificator.
Mensurius also forbade any to be honoured as martyrs who had given themselves up of their own accord, or who had boasted that they possessed copies of the scriptures which they would not relinquish. Some of these he claimed were criminals and debtors to the state, who thought they might by this means rid themselves of a burdensome life, or else wipe away the remembrance of their misdeeds, or at least gain money and enjoy in prison the luxuries supplied by the kindness of Christians.Timothy David Barnes, Constantine and Eusebius (Harvard University Press, 1981)p55.
In 308, Mensuris hid the deacon Felix who was accused of slander against the Emperor and defended him in Rome. After the acquittal he could not return to Carthage due to the blockade by Maxentius. His death outside of Africa and rejection of his successor Caecilianus contributed to the Donatists schisms in Northern Africa. |

Astłik | Short description |
Astłik or Astghik () a prominent goddess in ancient Armenian mythology, is revered as the embodiment of beauty, love, fertility, and water. Celebrated for her celestial beauty, she was a key figure in Armenian religious practices. Astghik is also known as the bride of the warrior god Vahagn, who represents fire and thunder. She was worshiped during the early centuries of Armenia's history, with her influence tracing back to pre-Christian times. Often identified with Aphrodite and the planet Venus
The celebration honoring Astghik is called Vardavar, during which people drench each other with water as a ritual of 'purification.' It symbolizes the renewal of life and the blessings of water, reflecting the goddess's influence in Armenian culture, a holiday of the Transfiguration of Jesus.
One tradition says she was Noah's daughter, born after his flood. |
Astłik | Etymology | Etymology
The name "Astghik" (Աստղիկ) is derived from the Old Armenian word "astgh" (Աստղ), meaning "star." The suffix "-ik" is a diminutive, often used to convey the sense of "little" or "small." Thus, "Astghik" can be interpreted as "little star," emphasizing her association with celestial beauty and light. |
Astłik | Mythology | Mythology
Originally, Astghik was the goddess of creation of heaven and earth, however, later she was transformed into a deity of love, beauty, and fertility. This was shaped by cultural and religious changes in ancient Armenia. Originally seen as a powerful creator goddess linked to nature, Astghik's role shifted as the Armenian pantheon evolved. With the rise of Aramazd as the chief creator god and Anahit as the moon goddess, Astghik's position diminished.
The Hellenistic period, which began following the conquests of Alexander the Great, had a profound impact on the religious systems of many regions, including Armenia. Astghik's transformation into a figure more similar to Aphrodite(the Greek goddess of love, beauty, and fertility) is a direct result of this influence. In these traditions, love, beauty, fertility, and sexual power were highly emphasized, and it appears that Astghik's image evolved to reflect these qualities, as she began to embody characteristics similar to these well-known goddesses from the surrounding cultures.
Cultural Exchange: Armenia was located at a crossroads between many ancient civilizations, including Mesopotamia, Persia, and the Hellenistic world. These cultures brought their religious ideas with them, which influenced the Armenian pantheon. The worship of Astghik likely has roots in the ancient Near Eastern goddess traditions, such as those seen in Sumerian, Assyrian, or Babylonian beliefs. The goddess of love and beauty could be a reflection of these broader regional deities. |
Astłik | Vahagn and Astghik | Vahagn and Astghik
The Myth of their Meeting: According to the myth, Vahagn goes on a heroic journey to find Astghik, but she’s hesitant to marry him. Even though he’s strong and brave, it’s his love and tenderness that win her over. Eventually, they come together and rule nature, with Astghik representing nurturing qualities and Vahagn symbolizing fierce protection. Their story shows the balance between opposites: the destructive power of fire and the life-giving force of water.
Thematic Significance: Their relationship represents a symbolic union between opposites in nature. Vahagn, as a god of war and fire, contrasts with Astghik’s associations with water, fertility, and love, symbolizing the balance of creation and destruction. The union of fire and water in the myth highlights how different forces can complement each other and maintain harmony.
Cultural Symbolism: In Armenian culture, this union also embodies the cyclical nature of life—where destructive forces lead to renewal, symbolized by the fertility and beauty represented by Astghik. |
Astłik | The myth of Astghik | The myth of Astghik
Astghik had a habit of bathing in a stream, often in the nude. Her beauty was so captivating that young men from nearby villages would gather to watch her. In an attempt to see her more clearly, they would light fires near the stream.
However, Astghik was aware of their intentions and decided to protect her privacy. To prevent the young men from getting a better view, she created a thick fog that covered the area. This fog became a permanent feature of the place, and the location came to be known as "Msho Dasht". The name is derived from the Armenian word "mshoush," meaning fog, which is associated with Astghik’s mystical creation of the mist, emphasizing the importance of purity. |
Astłik | Cultic locales | Cultic locales
Astghik’s principal seat in Ashtishat (or Taron) places her worship at an important religious and cultural center. Ashtishat was an ancient city in what is now eastern Turkey, near the region of Muş. This region was a key area of Armenian culture and religion. Astghik's temples were called "Vahagn's bedroom" as those were the places where they met.
Other temples and places of worship of Astłik had been located in various towns and villages, such as the mountain of Palaty (to the South-West from Lake Van), in Artamet (12 km from Van),p. 107, "The Pantheon of Armenian Pagan Deities", Gagik Artsruni, Yerevan, 2003 etc. |
Astłik | Vardavar | Vardavar
Vardavar is a celebration in Armenia where people drench each other with water, which was originally an ancient Armenian pagan festival dedicated to Astghik. The festival itself was rooted in celebrating fertility, beauty, and the life-giving power of water, as well as honoring Astghik. People would celebrate Vardavar by splashing eash other with water and engaging in rituals. The key feature of the celebration was the sprinkling or pouring of water, which symbolized purification and renewal.
However, when Armenia converted to Christianity in the early 4th century, a process of Christianization took place, where many pre-existing pagan holidays and customs were adapted and repurposed to fit the new Christian context. Vardavar, as a festival linked to Astghik, underwent this transformation.
One common strategy for converting pagan populations was to align Christian holidays with existing festivals. This helped ease the transition and made it more acceptable for people to adopt Christianity while still retaining familiar practices. In the case of Vardavar, the festival's themes of water and renewal were aligned with Christian values, particularly with the idea of baptism and the purification of the soul. |

Notability? Faculty member at an obscure Utah school (a two-year college until recently) No especially noteworthy publications or books. Google search only references publications and advertisements for subject's law firm. Article reads like a CV. Wikipedia is not an obscure faculty directory. WP:PROFTEST Irene Ringworm 04:28, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 17:51, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletions. -- Pete.Hurd 19:58, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
keep Certainly being a faculty member at a small college is not enough by itself for notability. But it does not actually prevent a person from being notable, and the publications listed are probably sufficient to show his stature, though not all of them are major law reviews. There is also his legal work; although it is not adequately documented in the article, it might be notable in its own right. I added an outside ref. DGG 03:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment It does make a difference when your chosen profession is law and you are not teaching at a law school, nor does your program have a noteworthy pre-law program. Again, look as WP:BIGNUMBER. Apparently his work is cited as a footnote (along with a dozen other articles) in a Ninth Circuit Court Guidelines document. Irene Ringworm 14:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Weak keep - I can't tell how noteworthy his publications are, but they are numerous - Feeeshboy 07:06, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment Please avoid these sorts of arguments as per WP:BIGNUMBER. Lots of publications does not make one notable. It is not uncommon for academics to have hundreds of publications. Listing a publication in THE INTERNET JOURNAL OF CRIMINOLOGY on your CV suggests few notable publications. Irene Ringworm 14:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment Neither argument to keep demonstrates notability. Both run counter WP:BIGNUMBER and appear to misunderstand that even minor academics (such as yours truly) may have dozens or hundreds of publications. Whether these publications are notable is another story - mine certainly are not, though they have been referenced and cited by several other authors. Please review WP:PROFTEST and WP:AADD when commenting on this article. Irene Ringworm 14:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
the expected number depends on the field. Every subject and every specialty is different. There is no numerical formula, but I find that numbers help guide the discussion. Faculty at law schools tend to publish a lot, but as mentioned he isn't at one. Some but not all of the articles are in good journals. On balance, I think he's N as a lawyer who also makes contributions to the journal literature in his special field. And I am not happy with the argument, hesnotasgoodasmeandimnotinWP. So this sort of sums up as a weak keep. DGG 01:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete -- no real assertion of notability. Does not pass WP:PROFTEST. *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 21:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep - A GoogleNews archive search shows he was an attorney in many notable high publicity death penalty cases. . Writer for The Salt Lake Tribune also. --Oakshade 01:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment I'm not sure if we're reading the same google news search. Your link shows that Alan W. Clarke was part of a team of attorneys for a handful of medical malpractice lawsuits and one representing an appeal for a man who burned down a seafood restaurant - of the ten cases listed none appear to be relevant to the death penalty and none appear to be notable (as in argued before the Supreme Court). In the past two decades he has argued less than a dozen cases before appeals, circuit, and federal courts. And he wrote a single guest commentary for the Salt Lake Tribune in 2005 - he is not a staff writer. Are you willing to find more suitable notability criteria because your comments don't match your references? Irene Ringworm 02:16, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
I see what you're saying and stand corrected. But the Willie Leroy Jones case he was an attourney with was very notable (New York Times article here ). And The Salt Lake City Tribune article is really him. --Oakshade 02:47, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
I took a look at some of the Willie LeRoy Jones stuff - interesting case. But the writeup in the NYT is 250 words on page 18 - not exactly a high profile article. If anything Alan W. Clarke should be a footnote to an article on the Jones case rather than a separate article. Irene Ringworm 02:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Actually the New York Times article is 4,255 words and, page 18, 1 or 118, that a Virginia story is in a prestigious New York based newspaper demonstrates heavy national interest in that case. --Oakshade 01:36, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Check again. The article is in "Late Edition - Final, Section A, Page 18, Column 4, 255 words " not 4,255 words. From my search of the NYT database he doesn't even appear to be mentioned in the article. Furthermore, the only other places I can find mention of this Willie LeRoy Jones fellow is in exhaustive lists of persons sentenced to death (especially at anti-capital punishment websites) and in a few law reviews owing to peculiarities in the proceedings (different treatments for co-conspirators).

Summary Here's a summary of the facts that have been discovered about Alan W. Clarkewhat we've agreed on so far:
He is a lawyer by profession who has a non-law faculty position at a non-selective four-year college
In the past two decades he has published about twenty papers, some in prestigious journals. None appear to be seminal works.
He has been involved in unknown capacity Alan W. Clarke was one of three attorneys whose firms filed an unsuccessful stay of execution on behalf of Willie LeRoy Joneswith a death penalty case for Willie LeRoy Jones. Mr. Jones' execution was covered with a 255 word article in the 1992 New York Times. Alan W. Clarke was not mentioned in the NYT article.
One of his papers was mentioned as "further reading" in a Ninth Circuit Court Handbook.
In 2005 he wrote an op-ed piece for the Salt Lake Tribune
As far as I can tell, no one other than Alan W. Clarke has written even a short summary of Alan W. Clarke's work. He has not been referenced as an "expert" in even local media articles (other than his op-ed piece) and he hasn't even yet published a book. In terms of WP:PROFTEST, WP:ATT this still appears to be a no-brainer for delete. Irene Ringworm 02:16, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
What do you mean that Utah Valley State College is "non-selective"? And please don't give the impression of voting outside the nomination's statements. --Oakshade 05:13, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm simply saying that UVSC is not a "prestigious" university on the order of Ivy League schools or CalTech. In other words, one cannot argue notability on the basis of institutional association alone.
And I am not trying to give the impression that we are "voting". I am trying to sum up what we know so far to keep discussion on track. Our last thread devolved into a discussion of Willie LeRoy Jones and some NYT article that doesn't even mention Alan W. Clarke. None of this proves notability. What I am looking for is someone to provide positive affirmation that this guy is notable. From the facts that folks have dredged up on the internet he clearly is not notable in terms of any wikipedia policy, guideline or criteria. I am not interested in opinion or voting. I am interested in someone digging up an independent fact or article that this guy is more than a junior faculty member at a "pretty good" college, of which there are thousands in this country, few of whom are notable by wikipedia criteria. If someone can prove me wrong I'm happy to let him stay. Irene Ringworm 08:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I missed the part of WP:PROFTEST that states a professor must teach at an ivy league and a college like Utah Valley State College is of marginal academic value. --Oakshade 09:29, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm not saying it does. There are some discussions on the talk page that propose that any Harvard professor, for example, is automatically notable, an argument with which I personally do not agree). I am trying to dissuade any argument of this fashion by explaining that UVSC doesn't quite fit in this category. Have you uncovered any further evidence of his notability? Irene Ringworm 09:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
About different universities: it is really simple: a full professor at a major research university (or any major law school) is presumed to be encyclopedia-worthy, because nobody gets to such a position without having publish a major body of work. Associate professors at such universities might or might not be notable, because they almost by definition have published a smaller amount of important work, and Assistant Professors there analogously a only sometimes notable for the amount of work they have yet done.
At other universities and colleges, the standards for a full professor are somewhat lower, and that is why they are not considered major research universities. Individual faculty there often do major work, and then they are notable; but since not everyone has done so, we must also check the notability of the work. (but remember that he is an Associate Professor. and an associate professor at Harvard Law School might still not yet be notable). We use the ranks and the nature of the schools in order to avoid having to do OR ourselves to determine what the academic world thinks of them.
So being from UVSC is not a negative factor. There are excellent reasons why absolutely first rate people might choose to teach there, or at smaller colleges as well. It's just that we have to see something distinctive in its own right. I am not saying he isn't. I said "keep" at the start, and I continue to do so, because I regard his specialized legal writing as notable, especially the reliance made of it in the handbook for his Circuit. He is, in my opinion, a notable figure in the struggle against the death penalty, a very honorable choice of career. If it should happen the consensus doesn't think he's important enough yet, still he will probably do much more in the next year or two, and there's no prejudice against an article at that time.DGG 01:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
If you think that a single reference in the Circuit manual constitutes notability I won't try to argue with you. I would prefer to wait until he does more to add him to Wikipedia. Thanks for the clarification on the university issue - I think you explained my argument exactly. Irene Ringworm 04:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete''' in its current state; as a professor/lawyer, Mr. Clarke does not seem notable enough. It's possible he's notable as an activist, but no non-self published evidence of that is presented yet.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Electronics/Assessment | Welcome to the | Welcome to the assessment department of the Electronics WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's electronic related articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of :Category:Electronic articles by quality and :Category:Electronic articles by importance, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist. |
Wikipedia:WikiProject Electronics/Assessment | FAQ | FAQ
1. How do I add an article to the WikiProject? Just add to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.
2. Someone put a template on an article, but it's not a Electronic related topic. What should I do? Because of the large number of articles we deal with, we occasionally make mistakes and add tags to articles that shouldn't have them. If you notice one, feel free to remove the tag, and optionally leave a note on the talk page of this department (or directly with the person who tagged the article).
3. What is the purpose of the article ratings? The objective of the rating system is twofold. First, it allows the project to monitor the quality of articles in our subject areas, and to prioritize work on these articles. Second, the ratings will be used by the Wikipedia 1.0 project to compile a "released version" of Wikipedia that can be distributed to readers. Please note, however, that these ratings are meant for the internal use of the project, and do not imply any official standing within Wikipedia as a whole.
4. How can I get an article rated? Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.
5. Who can assess articles? Any member of the Electronics WikiProject is free to add—or change—the rating of an article.
6. Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments? Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. If you have particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.
8. What if I don't agree with a rating? You can list it in the section for assessment requests below, and someone will take a look at it. Alternately, you can ask any member of the project to rate the article again.
9. Aren't the ratings subjective? Yes, they are (see, in particular, the disclaimers on the importance scale), but it's the best system we've been able to devise; if you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!
10. How can I keep track of changes in article ratings? A full log of changes over the past thirty days is available here. If you are just looking for an overview, however, the monthly statistics may be more accessible.
11. What if I have a question not listed here? If your question concerns the article assessment process specifically, please refer to the discussion page; for any other issues, you can go to the main project discussion page. |
Wikipedia:WikiProject Electronics/Assessment | Instructions | Instructions
The following values may be used for the importance parameter:
Top (adds articles to :Category:Top-importance electronic articles)
High (adds articles to :Category:High-importance electronic articles)
Mid (adds articles to :Category:Mid-importance electronic articles)
Low (adds articles to :Category:Low-importance electronic articles)
The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA, and may be omitted in those cases. The importance should be assigned according to the importance scale below.
Articles for which a valid importance is not provided are listed in :Category:Unknown-importance electronic articles. The importance should be assigned according to the importance scale below. |
Wikipedia:WikiProject Electronics/Assessment | Quality scale | Quality scale |
Wikipedia:WikiProject Electronics/Assessment | Importance scale | Importance scale
The criteria used for rating article importance are not meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is. Rather, they attempt to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it). Thus, subjects with greater popular notability may be rated higher than topics which are arguably more "important" but which are of interest primarily to collectors.
Note that the rating need not be from the perspective of editor demographics; equally well-known topics should be rated similarly regardless of the country or region in which this is the case. Thus, the rating given to topics which may seem obscure to an editor from one country—but which are well known in another—should correspond to the higher level of notability in the second country.
+ Article importance grading scheme Label Criteria Examples Well-known to the general reader The subject is well known to people who are not familiar with electronics. Daily use items and products. SwitchComputer Well-known to a reader with casual electronic knowledge The subject is known to a significant number of casual electronic savvy people. Other products and well known components. PCB Known or of interest to a reader with an interest in electronics The subject is not well known, but also not obscure to a reader with an interest in electronics. The subject is unlikely to be interesting to a non-specialist. Less known/historical component level. Op amp Everything else The subject is not well known or particularly significant even to someone with a good knowledge of electronics. Laws and theories. |

Rod Hall (born — died June 14, 2019) was an American professional off-road racer. He was inducted in the Off-road Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2005.Biography at the Off-road Motorsports Hall of Fame, Retrieved March 12, 2007 He has spent his entire adult life around four-wheel-drive vehicles. He competed in fifty straight Baja 1000 races and had class wins in 25 of them. At his death, he had the most desert off-road race wins. |
Rod Hall (racer) | Racing career | Racing career
His racing career began in the 1960s, when organized off-road competition was just beginning. Traveling from his Hemet, California, home to races in the Rocky Mountains and desert Southwest, Hall quickly earned a reputation for going faster than other competitors – and surviving races with less vehicle damage. He won the 1964 Afton Canyon Jeep Junket near Riverside, California, in what may have been one of the first organized off-road races in the United States.
As the popularity of organized off-road racing mushroomed in the late-1960s, so did Hall's success behind the wheel. In 1967 he won the inaugural NORRA Mexican 1000 Rally (the race now known as the SCORE International Baja 1000). He won the overall Baja 1000 race in 1969. As of 2016, Hall was the only racer to have competed in every Baja 1000 in a four-wheeled vehicle.score-international.com He raced in the first fifty Baja 1000 races with his final start in 2017 when he was nearly 80 years old.
Hall remains the only driver to win Baja overall in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. He has accumulated over 160 major event wins and more than a dozen SCORE/HDRA & Best in the Desert (BitD) championship titles. His string of 35 consecutive race wins in the early 1980s remains the longest unbroken string of race victories in off-road racing history.Biography at his official website |
Rod Hall (racer) | Hummer | Hummer
Hall switched to Hummer in 1993. In addition to being the owner of Team HUMMER, Hall is partner with Mike Winkel in Reno's Rod Hall/Winkel HUMMER. His franchise was the first stand-alone Hummer dealership in the country. Hall regularly conducted BF Goodrich tire seminars, HUMMER Happenings for dealerships and corporate excursions in HUMMER vehicles.
Hall is the driver of the new Hummer H3 SUV race truck, which debuted in the 2005 BitD “Vegas to Reno” competition and helped Hall earn his record 18th Baja 1000 victory in November 2005. Hall retired the Hummer race team from full race series action in 2009, but continues to field a Hummer entry at the Baja 1000. Hall captured his record-breaking 19th, 20th and 21st Baja 1000 class wins in his H3 in 2007, 2009 & 2012.score-international.com
Hall switched to helping to train drivers though his Rod Hall DRIVE program. The Rod Hall DRIVE off-road driving school was located at the Wild West Motorsports Park in Reno, Nevada. |
Rod Hall (racer) | Driving style | Driving style
On a SCORE video, Hall described his driving style, "I was never a fast guy, and I was never the first guy to the first checkpoint. But I did learn that you don’t go any slower than you have to in the rough stuff, maybe you can just pull out a mile and a half faster than the other guys without beatin’ up your car. Anybody can go fast in the fast area, but it’s the slower areas, I think, where I learned how to win races." |
Rod Hall (racer) | Personal life | Personal life
Hall and his wife Donna had two sons, and they now have third generation racers. Chad Hall races production vehicles, and currently runs Rod Hall Products amongst other businesses. Chad also raced Hummer H1s but has switched focus to the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2, Silverado T1XX, and his Spec Trophy Truck. Rod Hall Products currently works on the Colorado-based Infantry Squad Vehicle project of the United States Army with GM Defense and Hendrick Motorsports.
Josh Hall currently races a UTV in select races, with his daughter Shelby Hall.
He lived with his wife Donna at Reno, Nevada, at the end of his life. |
Rod Hall (racer) | Death | Death
Hall died on June 14, 2019 at 81 years old. He had progressive supranuclear palsy for the last few years of his life.
Former SCORE owner Sal Fish said, "Rod Hall was one of the founding fathers of desert racing and certainly a major pillar in the history of SCORE desert racing. Rod was one of the elite racers for over 40 years but he always maintained his humble personality and was as approachable, as friendly and as open with a handshake and a friendly smile as the first time I met him when I did a little racing back in 1969." |

The Death of Sleep | Short description | The Death of Sleep is a science fiction novel by American writers Anne McCaffrey and Jody Lynn Nye, published by Baen Books in 1990. It is the second book in the Planet Pirates trilogy and continues the Ireta series that McCaffrey initiated with Dinosaur Planet in 1978. Elizabeth Moon and McCaffrey wrote the other two Planet Pirates books. |
The Death of Sleep | Plot summary | Plot summary
Like its predecessor, The Death of Sleep is written in four parts. Each book centers on a new stage in the life of Sassinak's much removed relative, Dr. Lunzie Mespil. Lunzie leaves her daughter for what she thinks will be a relatively brief and lucrative job, but through various circumstances she suffers extended periods of cold sleep on several occasions, and finds herself thrown into a time different from her own, and is never able to meet her daughter again. Throughout her various experiences, Lunzie teams up with a changing cast of characters in order to bring down the planet pirates that plague the outer reaches of space.
The book begins as Lunzie sets off from Tau Ceti to her first assignment away from her daughter, on Descartes Mining Platform 6, which is only 12 years old. She tearfully leaves her teenage daughter behind, taking only a hologram of her and two duffel bags of clothes and other personal effects. Her ship leaves, with her as acting psychologist, and she speaks to a man who suffered from agoraphobia due to 12 years in cryo. She consoles him, but they are interrupted by the collision alarm: two asteroids are close to colliding with the ship, and they have no way to avoid them. The crew run for the lifeboats, but Lunzie is cut off from the rest of the ship, so must board hers alone. She contacts the other lifeboats, and is told that they will all hibernate till help arrives. She goes into stasis and the first part ends.
The story resumes with a miner from Descartes Platform 6, which is now 74 years old, as he is led by a Thek (a strange silicon-based, pyramidal lifeform) to a large asteroid, with a dated escape pod embedded in its surface. Lunzie is revived to discover that she has been unconscious for 62 years, making her daughter in her 70s. The rest of the crew were recovered long ago, and the man she had been counselling for agoraphobia did not even remember her.
She decides to move on with her life and relearn medicine due to the new techniques which she did not know, so she returns to her old university and starts again. She also falls in love and moves in with 'Tee', a technician who was also behind the times due to stasis and who was depressed due to his then advanced developments having been made obsolete in the 12 years he missed. Lunzie qualifies again, and receives an invitation from her now-extended family (she has great-grandchildren), along with her daughter, Fiona, who she thought was killed in an act of piracy. She takes a position on a space cruise liner, and sets of for Alpha Centauri, but a disaster strikes again when the ship's engines fail, and they're dragged into orbit around the nearby gas giant. The passengers escape in pods, leaving many of the crew and Lunzie herself. Lunzie's injured by a door, and is put into cold sleep once again.
When she wakes up 12 years have passed, and 'Tee' has spent most of it looking for her, signing up with the FSP fleet. Their reunion is marred by his having moved on from her, and started a new relationship, but they part ways as friends, and Lunzie finally gets to meet her even larger family on Alpha Centauri. They are delighted to meet her, but she finds them hide-bound and dull, living on a planet that is over populated and heavily polluted. The only one that she can truly relate to is Lorna, who is very similar to Fiona, and who shares their 'itchy feet'. Because of this, Lunzie gives her some of her 62 years worth of salary, to use to get off planet. Lunzie must now leave, but before she does, the captain of her rescuing ship invites her out to dinner, partly out of friendship, but also to use her as a cover for getting close to some of the 'planet pirates', groups of people who illegally colonise planets. He gets a call from his source, and goes to meet him, but one of the waiters attacks them; they win the fight, but the source is dead, and their cover blown.
The end of Part Four delivers the characters to planet Ireta and intersects with the events of Dinosaur Planet. |
