Which, by the way, is very easy - considering the FACT that in 1978 none of the three main characters were related. Not - hadn't been revealed, not - didn't know within the story, not - unreleased Original Vision. In the simplest of terms - they were separate characters from different parts of the vast mystery that is the endless universe. A farmer, a princess, and a military leader.

Exactly, and from such a perspective, I enjoyed the book for what it was.
