Lackey* 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. James --- ### Jeff Wilson *27 Feb 2008, 06:03 · in reply to don doggett* > don doggett wrote: > Hmmm. Sirius + Fiction + web page. Could it be > siriusfiction.com?

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. - Ranjit --- ### gwern0 at gmail.com *07 Mar 2008, 20:50 · in reply to Dan'l Danehy-Oakes* On 2008.03.07 12:37:30 -0800, Dan'l Danehy-Oakes scribbled 0.8K characters: > There is no list.

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. Peter --- ### Matthew Keeley *10 Mar 2008, 19:07 · in reply to stoneox17 at aol.com* 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? -Matt ---
