MS Maya Smith To: Dan Moren > 10:21 PM Eternity's Tomb Dear Dan Moren, There's a line from your description of Eternity's Tomb that I haven't been able to stop thinking about: that the score of a lifetime is out there, just waiting to be claimed, and that millennia ago, an advanced civilization sent its entombed king hurtling through the stars to a supermassive black hole, with his riches buried with him, and now a ragtag group of five treasure hunters and thieves comprising various species must find and break into this tomb while navigating their complicated relationships with each other, surviving its deadly defenses, and getting out with the treasure, all without dying. I've worked with a lot of novels for what I do, and that sentence describes something genuinely rare. Most books in this space do exactly the

BY DAN MOREN June 30, 2026 2:49 PM PT • THE BACK PAGE The Back Page: Murder on the Cupertino Express I'm sure you're wondering why I've called you all here to this elegant dining car. It's simple: one of you-yes, one of you-is a murderer. Spare me your protestations! One of you has brutally killed Apple's profit margins in cold blood. A detestable crime, in this day and age. If we cannot protect shareholder value, what, then is sacred? So you will permit me, before identifying the guilty party, to say a few words? Thank you. For it will surprise none of you, certainly, that Apple's margins had no shortage of enemies.
I'd had about enough of being slagged off by Cabby Price, whether or not I needed his help, and I ripped a deep snort at that line. "Jesus Christ, do you ever stop to listen to yourself? You get off on these power trips, like you're the king of the castle, but first off," I said, ticking items off on my fingers, "the only reason you're here is because you happened to get born to the right family at the right time, so congratulations on being born with a whole silver spoon stuck up your ass. Second, because your daddy finally deigned to hand the keys to the kingdom after several years of you demonstrating that you couldn't even be trusted to run a charity egg and silver spoon race. And third, third," I said, jabbing at my ring finger, "I forget what third was, but it was going to pay off that whole spoon motif, and it was really fucking good."

A number of our members recently read Eternity's Tomb, and it led to some thoughtful discussions within the group. Readers were especially drawn to the novel's blend of space adventure, mystery, and humor, as well as the relationships between its characters and the challenges they face across the galaxy. I wanted to reach out and let you know how much the book was appreciated. If you're available, we'd love to have you join us for a conversation about the book and hear your thoughts on it.

For their part, ICE has clung to the gaiters like life support. In an interview on Face the Nation last week, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused moderator Margaret Brennan of "doxxing" Jonathan Ross, the man who has been identified as the ICE agent who shot Renee Good despite his use of a face-obscuring gaiter in the many videos taken during the shooting. "Don't say his name, for heaven's sakes. We shouldn't have people continue to doxx law enforcement when they have an 8,000 percent increase in death threats against them," Noem scolded Brennan. When Brennan pointed out that his name was public knowledge, Noem responded, "I know but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said."
