I hate to say it, but I think we're going to see another time jump. My prediction has been the time between the end of Teckla/Phoenix to Orca. The time that Vlad looses a part of his little finger...to a Dzur... One of the few joys I have had is accurately predicting that the next book is Dzur. That is, of course, after it started out as Tiassa. I presume it still may morph, at which time I will still gloat about being right for a short period of time....but only for the requirements of my self esteem. :) -Jot -- Jot Powers <books at bofh.com> http://www.bofh.com/books/ "I'm upping my standards, so up yours!" -Pat Paulsen (1927-1997), Presidential Campaign Slogan
