Hi Urthlings,
I haven't been posting lately but have been enjoying very much the threads of those who have ... particularly the Ozy v. Sev comparisson, which I don't think I'll wade into right now ...
HOWEVER, if you have some spare time while waitng for your uncorrected proof of "ON BLUE'S WATERS" to come in from eBay, I strongly recommend you take a peep at a majestic new book called "A GOD STROLLING IN THE COOL OF THE EVENING" by Mario De Carvalho. I believe that anyone who enjoys either the New Sun or Soldier books will dig this one: a dying empire, archaic language, strange religions, a compelling first person narrative by a man of heartbreaking honour and weakness and more lictors than you can shake a bundle of fasces at.
If enough people give this book a try I'll look into initiating a Sev v. Lucius Valerius Quintius comparisson.
