I've seen the trailer for the film "Passengers" and I wonder if this Donaldson story had any influence on it.

Hmmm. I didn't notice it's from 2011. It just popped up in some newsfeed this week.

First Thomas Covenant trilogy comes in at #58

Here's an article about a medical college and hospital in India. I don't know that it's directly connected to SRD's family, but it has some interesting background information, nevertheless.

How about Madeleine L'Engle?

"Lord Mhoram's Victory" was the first that came to my mind.

I was hoping for more Creator, though Donaldson seems to keep with his theme that humans no longer need their gods (ala This Day All Gods Die) from the Wagner stuff that influenced him. Also I kind of expected Foul to escape and a more cosmic battle to ensue.

Lord Foul wrote:Greetings, JAB. Curious, is your name an abbreviation for something or is it written in caps to emphasize?

Nothing mysterious--just initials. Though the puns are fun. Thanks for the welcome.

Glad to be here. Started reading Covenant in 1984. Finished The Last Dark last weekend.
