Subject: Lexicon Second Edition mailing list
Hello there Roy,
People have bugged me for this sort of thing, so I've finally got it going. Please make an announcement for the list...
People who want to have an email message as soon as the second edition of the Lexicon is available should visit the Sirius Fiction web page now. There is a new button and sign up thingie that should take care of it.
Thanks in advance, Roy!

Hmmm. Sirius + Fiction + web page. Could it be
siriusfiction.com? Perhaps the answer is in
mantis at siriusfiction.com?
Thanks Roy, and thanks to Mantis.

Regardless of what the url is or who did or didn't provide it, this is excellent news. I already have the unbound update to the original lexicon, but I'll be wanting the finished new version just to support all the great work that went into the original (and the ongoing) project.
Thanks for the update.

Perhaps there are similar lacunae in the book, not as obvious?

Some of the list links are saying there's no list now. Did something happen? I can't get to the most recent archives as it is.

The hosting service (dreamhost) sent me a warning a few weeks ago that they were going to move the service to a new machine, and that there was a slight chance that things would break. Things did break, apparently, and I've been remiss in doing anything about it. I just contacted tech support and asked them to make things go again.

As I was walking down the stairs,
I saw a list which wasn't there.
I saw the list again today -
How I wish it'd just go away!

There is nothing to see here. These aren't the droids you are searching for. You can go about your business. Move along!

Did a large procession wave their torches while its head fell in the basket And is everybody dancing on the casket? Now it's over its dead and it hasn't Done anything that it wants or it's Still alive and there's nothing it wants to do.

I once absend-mindedly ordered Three Mile Island dressing in a restaurant and, with great presence of mind, they brought Thousand Island Dressing and a bottle of chili sauce. -- T. Pratchett

Some questions, which I think answer each other.
Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I don't
remember it.
Who killed Valentin?
The obvious suspect is Lesage, who seems to be the only
person who really hated him.
But how did Lesage know where to find him? And, in a
related vein, what did Ignacio do to win Lesage's trust?
If the answers are what I think they are, this is really chilling.

Good questions; I'd love to hear your answers.
Re: Ignacio and Lesage: What evidence is there to suggest that Lesage ever met "Ignacio?" It's been Because I know some people have surmised that Ignacio/Chris and Lesage are the same person. It's been a while since I read the book though, so my memory may be serving me poorly.
As for Valentin - I don't know - I wonder if he killed himself? Chris suggests that possibility... Or perhaps Lesage revealed himself to Valentin as Chris and Valentin, seeing the truth, tried to kill his old tormentor? And then Chris kills Valentin in self-defense?
Also - do we have any more thoughts on what caused Chris to go back in time in the first place?
And what about that "Angel of Death" that Chris says he sees above one of the boats?
