Review: 2019.611 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: Crinoida dajeeana is the mythical man-eating tree of Madagascar reported by the New York World in 1874. It does sort of look like a pineapple.
Con: The story just ends. Mr. Gore delivers the robot, Mr. Owens explains what he’s going to use it for, writes him a check, and that’s the end of it.
