Hello. I am also a newbie here and since I have posted a couple of times already, I thought I should introduce myself. My name is Ness and I have been into the Taltos series for 6 years. I don't have any questions about the series either, right now, but things are so hectic around where I am that I'm not too surprised. I'm sure I'll think of some before long though. --Ness --- There are always choices. That is the pattern beneath all things. Universes appear and disappear with each choice- and words are destroyed with every breath.
