Wow. To all of it: the book, Jimmy, Lex vs. Nor . . . .

I did not automatically assume the peace talks were with the New Kryptonians. For some reason I just pictured ordinary, present-day type world politics.

That Lois married Lex and later Lex became President; that must have been terribly difficult for Clark at the time.

Overall, excellent plot, excellent feeling, and *totally* awesome writing.

Wow.
