Critical reception
In her review of the book in The Australian Women's Weekly Nicola Worsley concluded: "I will admit to being beguiled by the whole publication. Thomas Keneally, with a novelist's imagination and insight, has taken familiar and unfamiliar aspects of Moses' life to bring to interesting reality this dramatic tale."[3]
gollark: I think the base is 1.25kRF/block and then it's raised to the power of 1.35.
gollark: ```spatialio { D:spatialPowerExponent=1.35 D:spatialPowerMultiplier=1250.0 I:storageDimensionID=2 I:storageProviderID=-11}```Power usage, meet config editor.
gollark: See, you need giant banks of dense energy cells to power big spatial frames, and why not only use *one*?
gollark: Wait, I just had a great idea, automatically switching toggle buses on and off to send spatial IO power stores to different systems.
gollark: If spatial IO didn't require so much power storage - or I could use several on one network - I would use it more. I made spatial IO teleporters one time, that was cool.
