heh. i had the same thought. happily, srd is a doctor who fan, so he may well have had them in mind :) Is he really? Cool. :) As for Linden, I can appreciate her as a character, but I. Just. Don't. Like. Her. Usually it's the "I'm so awesome, you must love me" "charming trickster&quo...

Delurking... WOW! Whether or not SRD is my favorite author, I must say that Fatal Revenant was one of the books I awaited most eagerly. But after reading it, I admit to agreeing some with Arenn.

Hi folks! I read the 1st & 2nd Chron. of TC way back when the 2nd Chron. were new, and remember at the time reading in some fantasy/sf art book that SRD planned for a 2nd and a 3rd/last Chron. So after WGW I waited...waited...waited... thought he'd given up the idea... (I read the Gap... books b...
