Gives a bit of insight to Daniel before Anchored. I'm glad to see that I am right that Daniel's been a slave since he was born. One reviewer argued heatedly that he wasn't a slave until he was 3 or so. According to this short story collection, he'd been a slave for 11 years and he was 11 years old. According to my math skills...this means he was a slave all his life. *HAH!*
Anyway, it seems Daniel's history with Victor is a tantalizing tidbit that we won't ever fully learn about.
