So how did the Spathi get that Funrom? Ok, partially it depends o nthe Melnorme definition of recently, but how'd they pay for it? i can't imagine Spathi trying to catch anything, and there's no rainbow worlds in their sphere (I think, besides, the Melnorme know of none of the rainbow worlds in this quadrant). and the Ilwrath are more likely to maim smething living than eat it...
The deal the Melnorme worked out with Zelnick is a unique one. They knew his mission would make him do an awful lot of exploration and the landers on the precursor vessel would be perfect for capturing rare lifeforms. The other races in the area (or at least the ones the Melnorme talked to) must have provided entirely different things for whatever commodities they desired. Like with the Slyandro allowing the Melnorme to study in exchange for the 241-A probe.
And personally, I didn't like any of Jean M. Auel's books except for 'Cave Bear. The sequels all turned into romance novels.

I imagine that the FunRom probably didn't cost TOO much. After all, it probably fits under the 'useless and trivial information available at a substantial discount' category.
"Please share your mineral wealth with us, as allies."
As you wish. Our waste recycling unit is at your disposal.
There you will find quantities of methane, sulfurous gas, and some interesting organic compounds.
Feel free, take all you want.
I imagine they recovered Spathi DNA from the Spathi poop. I doubt it was worth very much, but then, I imagine neither was Winky's Happy Night.
"What do you guys do for fun out here in deep space?"
We used to be bored, but then we bought this cool entertainment product.
It simulated a grand adventure through a thousand parsecs of hostile space
where we met interesting aliens, uncovered the secrets of a long-lost superior race
and eventually, to save our worlds from destruction, we had to face the dread..
never mind, I can tell you aren't really interested.
What I can't figure out is how they managed to amass enough credits for that game. It can't possibly have been cheap. It sounds rather fun though!
"Spathi Control: Battles of the Black Spathi Squadron" ?

I have to say the name of the Ilwrath ship. Avenger? Come on, shouldn't it be something like "Torturer" or "Armageddon"?
They're an admittedly evil race of religious zealots, who worship pain, torture, and... well... evil. Avenger sounds like it should've been used as a new design from one of the old league races.
Just like in our world, the name given by the builders (original race) is rarely the one used for a plane / submarine (or spaceship). Best example would be all the "additional" names (like NATO-code names) for all the Russian developments.
As for the "real" Zebranky's fate - we will probably never find out. But why would the ZFP call for help describing the event of planetary bombardment by the Kohr-Ah with "worse than Zebranky" if the Zebranky were tasty food or what not?
My biggest "doesn't fit" is the screen malfunction when talking to the Syreen commander Talana - next time, bring some extra light bulbs or night vision goggles 
"Oh, Captain! What's this?"
"That's only my flashlight!"
"And this?"
"Uh, well - another flashlight?"

Why, the Lady Marauder, death borne on a thousand solar winds, severer of hope and deliverer of Fiery, inevitable, and eternal death -- a softie! Who would have guessed?
