next re-reading The Devil and Deep Space, the next novel under #Jurisdiction -- which, as best as I cam remember, is all about how long it can take for things to come home to roost. For all that this series has been about the lack of real justice under a corrupt regime, this novel is a turning point-- some things actually are inevitable. But it's not clear that justice is one of those things.

Also, corruption throws sand into all the works, especially the work to replace corruption.
