eh I think it's probably a variety that was known to the locals for a while, just not the western world. Not totally outside the realm of possibility to me.

No electricity would be very difficult for me to adjust to for sure but that's not even the part of isolation that would be hardest. I just really need frequent social contact.

(Tell me how you like Alta! I haven't decided if I'm going to read it. And speaking of sequels, have you read any of the sequels to His Majesty's Dragon? I'm just starting on the third book in that series, I really love it)

A completely different anon has just read Alta! And yesterday I finished Sanctuary, too. I enjoyed them both - really as much for the details of training the dragons as for the plots. I did have to go "la la la, not seeing the plot hole here" now and then, but all in all I think they're well up to "Joust".

I just thought it was strange how he got the species named after him when it must have been known to locals. Otters in Iraq seem like a strange thing for me anyway.

The isolation would get to me, I go stir crazy in isolation after two days. Forget weeks at a time.

(I'll let you know about Alta when I start it. I haven't read the sequels to His Majesty's Dragon but I did read her other book Uprooted and really loved it)

saaame wrt isolation, oh man. Can't do it.

As for the otter being named after him - ethnocentrism for sure. He was the first white guy to have one, therefore he truly discovered it.

(definitely read the HMD sequels, I love them so much!!)
