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.

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. . ---
