"...And Then There Were None" grew on me. A military/dipIomatic mission lands on an outpost of humanity to carry out a routine task they've done many times: to reassert the primacy of earth's empire over its worlds after an interregnum caused many of them to forget about it. But this planet appears to present particular difficulties in locating the appropriate authorities to persuade them to surrender. I expected a thinly disguised libertarian polemic about the people vs the gummint' but I was pleasantly surprised. The underlying philosophy is quite different and no less powerful, and the ideas sneak up on you - as they do to many of the story's characters. It's flawed in that it has some dated attitudes to gender roles, but apart from that it's quite a charmer.
"Baby Is Three" is quite different, though. A good read, but a more disturbing one. I can't recall another story dealing with quite the same theme of a gestalt trans-human: one that requires many apparently separate beings to function as a whole. Not a Borg-like collective consciousness, nor even a symbiosis. ( )
