i got the feeling that at the end of zenith that clay and broomie survived, unless there was another clay spying on tuck when he was on his master bridge. but the thing is, tuck was watching clay too, but HOW COULD HE RECONGIZE HIM?!?!?!?
at the end of the book, it mentions that the "world was spinning for five thousands times or more" (or something similar) which i worked out is about 5000 days, and not including leap years, is about 13 and a half years. so how on earth (or urth, haha lame joke) would tuck have recongized clay? had he even ever seen clay? and why didnt broomielaw take little baby clayslaps straight back to the treenesters, did she even TRY to find them? and pollock and gorbals, whom she cared for so much?
or, on another hand, maybe she didnt go after them because she couldnt choose between them, but knew it would ruin her life and clays life if they were constantly arguing over her. and at least this way there would be less squabbling all round and pollock and gorbals would forgive each other, and maybe themselves, for past mistakes.
that is, IF they survived...
please if anyone else has any opinions on this, let me know because my theories are completely guesswork, taken off 1 and 3/4 pages of and extroidnary novel.
