A little bit late... I'm now listening to Fortune of War, and was thinking about this thread. In this book (and to a lesser degree the previous) I've found Jack is Dzur-like and Stephen is a Yendi. (and though I'm sure it won't hold up under scrutiny, Diana is a Dragon and Sophie is a Tiassa...) I'm truly enjoying listening to these on tape btw... <hint hint nudge nudge> Guil: What a shambles! We're just not getting anywhere. Ros: Not even England. I don't believe in it anyway. Guil: What? Ros: England. Guil: Just a conspiracy of cartographers, you mean? ~~~Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Tom Stoppard
