Talk:Parasite (novel)

Date
I understand the date for this story "circa 2515" comes from the Discontinuity Guide, but can anyone verify/explain it? Steed ☎  02:55, October 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * Mark Bannen was a baby during the riots of 2146 and has been kept alive since the founding of the colony "367 years ago" (page 73). Doug86 ☎  03:52, October 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * If 1706 was more than 700 years ago (page 140) and Alex Bannen has been dead for more than two centuries (page 165) then that should put the story somewhere between 2406 and 2457. Am I missing something else? Steed ☎  16:02, October 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah, this is one of those stories (like Legacy) that has a number of contradictory clues given regarding the dating. However, the 26th century one is probably the correct one since Earth now has an "Empire" (pages 136-137). Doug86 ☎  13:52, October 6, 2015 (UTC)
