The Curse of Chalion

Lord Cazaril has been, in turn, courtier, castle-warder, and captain; now he is but a crippled ex-galley slave seeking nothing more than a menial job in the kitchens of the Dowager Provincara, the noble patroness of his youth.

However, one lesson from the 2007 meltdown is that computer driven models are so complex that hardly anybody understands what is going on.
