    How are the last set of Covenant books - I've read the first 2 chronicles many times, and committed to not read them again until the 3rd chronicles were all published. When is the last book coming? And did you read the Gap series by Donaldson too - I loved this too.

    The last series is fine-centering around Linden Avery (at least at the beginning) and the dubious return of Covenant to the Land. To say anymore might spoil things. I think it might be a couple of years before the third and forth are released.
    The Gap series is excellent-some people say its too long but I enjoyed them all and am part way through the series again (I must try and read something other than science fiction/fantasy)
    Didn't enjoy Mordants Dream.
    I recommend Reeve the Just and other stories-a nice little collection of short stories by S.D

    Why, wasn't it a full novel, just Mordants Shorts?

    Default Origins of robofet61

    I'm often intrigued as to the stories behind people's user names - and there's nearly always a story behind every one.
    So, why don't you tell us about the origin of the name you've chosen to be identified with on the Art of Sound?



    Your enormously self-depricating starter for ten:

    The Grand Wazoo - The Big Arse...............also the name of one of my favourite Frank Zappa albums.
    Robofet61 is twofold, it came from robocop; my sons' name is robbie and the "fet" portion stands for 2 things 1) Field effect transistor & 2) Funds,Energy,Time; the triangle; if you will, is always changing from right to obtuse to isosolese and on & on. Is there a tutorial as to get around on this site? It is probably easier for you. Thanks; Robert

    Default What did I choose my user name?

    I chose "Light Capture" because of my love of photography. Capturing an image on film or digital is capturing the light on an object.
