autopope fans...
OK, I'm reading this at the moment, and really enjoying it. Unfortunately the copy I've got has a misprint, and has two sets of the same pages and is missing about 50 pages (in my copy, pages 200-250ish).
So, knowing that there are people reading this that have read it and like it, can someone summarise the plot points I may have missed? (and apologies to those on The Culture List who've seen these Qs already)
Right, Martin is in the brig, Rachel is visiting him, and she's trying to get out of him who he's working for. Then I've had to skip and it goes to the middle of the 'trial'
I've (naturally) read on anyway (they're currently in the escape pod, the battle is about to start), but I'd like to know
I'll likely finish the rest of the book tonight, but I'm unlikely get to the shop to get it replaced until middle of next week :(
Really enjoying it though, I can see what all the fuss is about now. I really like the idea of the diaspora and the Eschaton, and the basic background is sound. I undertand there's one sequel, which I'll get soon; anyone want to recommend any of his other stuff (I DL'd the e-books at work today, I'll see if I can read them through at some point)

- What he told her about who and what he's working for, and what her reaction was to whatever he told her. (NB, I know who he's working for, it was covered earlier, did he tell her?)
- How they ended up in the trial situation with the weird set up.
- If anything happened on Rochard's World or with the Festival/Critics during the gap.
