Yeah, but last year you got several more. Somehow it's much worse when you just beat me by _one_. It makes me want to shake my fist and say "Curses! But I'll get you next time!" ;)
Started Ilium today and boy is it weird. So you have a dead scholar watching ancient history, a guy lusting after his cousin on Mars, and a robot in a sub on I want to say Saturn? I really hope it starts to make sense soon.
Close, the guy lusting after his cousin's on Earth in the far future. Mount Olympos for the Trojan War is on Mars. And I can't remember if the robots are around Saturn or Jupiter or both or neither, but it was some kind of Jovian.
As to making sense... well, the stories don't start to come together for a long time, I think, it might be easier to treat it like three separate stories you're just flipping back and forth between. When they start to come together, you'll know. ;)
