The Orions: Book of Deep Knowledge by Peter R. Rogan
After finishing the Book of Common Knowledge, I moved on to the second of these tomes about Orion history and culture. This one was shorter, covering aspects that the Orions typically don't reveal to outsiders. I really don't have anything to say about it that I didn't say about the first.
