I've been having a problem looking up the Urth archives today, so forgive me if any of this is repetitive. I just got back from a trip - ran into Mr. Wolfe. He told me that he thought he was done with Wizard (book II of Wizard Knight) after the fifth draft, but that he is going through a sixth draft now. So I guess it's pretty close to being sent off. He said that work on Soldier of Sidon was slow, and when I asked if he was using any historical figures he said Xerxes' brother. I think. I could be wrong. Latro et al are sailing down the Nile. I have a few pictures of me with Wolfe that I wanted to post to the list, but I'm not sure if attachments work. Does anybody know if they do? If not, no big deal. Marc Aramini

Not unless they started in Uganda (or Ethiopia); the Nile flows from South to North. They are sailing up the Nile. I wonder if they are going to use the canal. Sidon's a good place to be from if you want to do some serious world travelling in the the fifth century BC. Can't wait to see GW's take on Phoenician religion. .
