He states that Tor will release both IN GREEN'S JUNGLES and RETURN TO THE WHORL in 2000, and speculates (perhaps on the basis of textual inference, perhaps from privileged information) that RETURN TO THE WHORL concerns events that occur after Horn's writing of ON BLUE'S WATERS. ===== --- ### William H.

Interesting is hardly the word for Clute's speculation, quoted above. It don't make no sense! I think it is pretty clear that Horn has visited and returned from The Whorl already by the time he has written OBW from the hints contained within. If that is so, then shouldn't the title of the final book be _Re-return to the Whorl_? Well, one more reason I just can't wait.
