With Angus' guidance, Ciro was led to believe that death was his only redemption. There was no effort on Ciro's part to try and save himself from this fate. He firmly believed that he deserved to die. Those seeds were planted by his guilt and harvested by Angus. With the desire to live, could have a...

It has been a while since I have read this series. It is obviously time for a re-read. (Gotta keep myself busy for the next 2 years or so 'til Fatal Revenant). But I seem to think along these lines : Without Angus' sale of the miners to the Amnion, he never gains the knowledge of how to edit datacor...

Pretty good attempt there, 10K. Close, but not quite...

Got some time on your hands, eh?

Wow...I haven't even thought about this in many many years, but I am a little guilty as charged. When I first read the First Chronicles, it was back around 1980. I was roughly 13 years old. I had been given a Christmas present from an uncle that year of a gold medallion, with white gold lining. A Sc...

Do any of ya'll think that it is possible that the Sandgorgons have some of the same capabilities to 'ride' time as the Ranhyn? When TC summoned Nom, he had a hell of a far way to go to get to him at Revelstone, yet he made all the way from Brathairealm (spelling?) to Revelstone rather quickly, don'...

It seems to be a recurring theme in SRDs works that there is a victim and an abuser in his SF and fantasy series. A necessary plot vehicle? Maybe. Here's the scoop... Mordant's Need - Master Eremis to Terisa Morgan The Gap Cycle - Nic Succorso and Angus Thermopyle to Morn Hyland The First Chronicles...

Just curious if there are any members from New Orleans or any other areas around Louisiana...

Who dat sey dey gonna beat dem Saints? Who dat? Who dat?

I would think that his website, www.stephenrdonaldson.com, would be a good reference. The only person that I have gotten interested in the series was a little unsure at first. So I sent to the website and let her read (spoiler free) some of the content, and also she was how accessible that SRD is......

...just bumping this old thread up. Kind of interesting to see what we were thinking not so long ago.

Note this question that I submitted in the gradual interview about the naming of Lord Foul. Stephen Allange: Stephen...thanks so much for answering my previous question. This question is pertaining to the naming of Lord Foul. The name in itself is something that doesn't quite fit with my imagination...

But if the Laws of Life and Death are not broken, TC can never come back if he accepts his fate in the land and dies a natural death. Then Kastenessen comes back and no one in the Land has the power to oppose him. How would that work out in the long term?

OK...so to destroy everything, or to start over again? Think of it from this perspective. You have a beautiful saltwater fish tank. You have fish in that tank that you have had for years. You love your fish, and don't want to lose any of them. The tank is getting dirty and cloudy, not as pretty as i...

You have to wonder if the Creator knew what he was getting into when he chose Covenant. He may have known what Thomas' crimes were going to be, including the rape of Lena. Without the burden of his guilt, Covenant may have never chose to take the path that he did. He (the Creator) needed Covenant to...

As much as I would love to see this series filmed, I just don't think that it can be pulled off. And if it is attempted, the end result cannot be anything but bad, as much to my dismay as possible. I keep thinking of the film adaptation of Stephen King's 'Apt Pupil'. If you have read the short story...

OK...we have all beaten our brains out trying to find the best people to play our beloved characters. Now let's see how bad we can do. Jim Carey as Berek...this cannot be topped Ed O'Neil (aka Al Bundy) as Covenant Katey Segal (Peg Bundy) as Elena Christina Appplegate (the younger version) as Lena I...

How about 'The Chronicles Of Thomas Covenant, The Corruption Within?' for the title of the first film?

...why hasn't anyone considered Tom Hanks as Thomas? If anyone has shown a range of abilities, it is Hanks. So many roles he has adapted to that you would have never figured he could pull off. Also, (I can't get his name at this moment), but the guy who played Doc Oc in Spiderman 2 I think would mak...

Maybe this has been addressed in another topic. Sorry for the duplication, if that is the case. But what do ya'll think of Fatal Revenant being written from TCs point of view? His story from the point of Jeremiah's journey to the land? After all, this is another one of his chronicles, 'The Last Chro...
