Yep. I've always thought of Sherpas, partly because they also live among the high peaks and frozen desolate wastelands. I have done a few trips in Nepal and Tibet and the Himalayan mountain people are indeed the closest thing to the Haruchai that I have met. They are 'capable' in a way that surpass...

Re: AAAggghhhh!!!! HOW COULD SHE?? (ending spoiler)
Really I am SHOCKED 8O by Linden's actions at the end of FR. How she could bring Covenant back from the Dead!! What was she thinking??? I have real sypathy for Linden here. All the way through the third series to date Covenant has been sending her cryptic and mixed signals as to what she should be ...

I quite like the representation of Covenant (especially hi grubby white T shirt below the robe) :banana: , but does anyone else feel that the picture has a sort of almost 'biblical' feel to it, what with the robe and the light and the cross shaped sword and all...... Urm...yes?! He's the savior of ...

That cover really does Brinn injustice (if that really is Brinn). First, no self-respecting Haruchai would never be crouching in that position with an open-mouthed expression. Brinn would be standing with the usual dispassionate look on his face. Secondly, the Haruchai never felt the need for weapo...

At the risk of getting bogged down in minutiae here (if it isn't to late for that already) it occurs to me that the watch in its leaning out cannot do more so than is consistant with the problems Covenant had in navigating the stairs. Too much lean - too easy to descend (remember Covenant had to com...

Foamfollower is huge of stature as well as height, he has small deepset eyes that twinkle with perpetual good humour. His face is homely rather than good looking, heavy browed and bearded, curley haired (reddish) and heavy set in his features. His hands are large - even for a giant and calloused fro...

QED Wayfriend - now I have to re-adjust my (erroneous) mental image hardened over 30 years into granite as obdurate as that of the watch itself. To hell with it - its not worth the effort - I'll leave it as it is :lol: :lol: :lol: Is there a problem such that the landscape software can't depict some...

Blackhawk, that is awesome! (and I mean that in its true sense, not the degraded sense in which it is commonly used today {a little bit of the purist in me coming out today - ha ha ha!}). Have you ever thought of doing the first view of Revelstone - the one that had Foamfollower in rapture when he d...

Is there any reason why they should? (I think there may be a 'leaning outward' version on the front cover of one of the editions of LFB in the cover art section - not one of my favorites it has to be said). That's very nice. But no one seems to want to depict Kevin's Watch leaning outwards, for some...

Not far - maybe 2/3 of the way through the second book. By then it was pretty clear that it wasn't going to work for me. Interesting as well that King cites TCTC as one of his 'inspirations' to write the series (along with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly). Do you mean challenging as in difficult to g...

Do you mean challenging as in difficult to get in to, or in the sense that i) Covenant is in many ways not a nice man and/or ii) when the land of the first series had eventually got under your skin the total destruction of it in the second series was just too much to bear. I would put Stephen Kings ...

Yeah - that stone tower with the lightening is the one I meant (see Hue of Bones posting). Must admit I never considered it as anything other than the Watch. I seem to remember that Lena said she had seen a diturbance up on the platform that had drawn her up there and always assumed the lightening i...

Great work guys, but for me the definative Kevins Watch will always be the one illustrated on the cover of the first UK paperback issue (by Fontana I believe) of LFB. This must have been the reason I picked up the first book, for the first time, all those years ago. Check it out in the cover art sec...

On the point of sacrificing Trells family in order to save the world I think it is worth remembering that Lord Morham would not sacrifice the life of even one little girl - and one not even from his own world (one of the most touching scenes in the whole series to be found in TPTP) - in order to sav...

I have known a number of people who found LFB a slow starter but percevered to their eventual satisfaction. Me, I was hooked from page 1 and thought it was the attention to detail that was put into this part of the series that made the whole of The Land and its people such a rich and believable (no ...
