Maybe, two tenets?

1) That you need a flat glass to translate to somewhere else in the same world, and ...
2) Such a translation should drive the translator mad?

Edited to add: dammit, I answered the hint and not the question!

Thanks, CH. Do you know of a good resource to look up information like this? I found a couple of bibliographies online that included different editions, but I wasn't able to find one that included the Collins hardcover of "Risked his Partner", which does exist - I own a copy. So I'm not su...

I've only read the original versions (I was able to find copies before "Fought Alone" was published, and the first three re-published), so it would be interesting to get the new editions.

Thanks, CH. I want to reread the series, so you've inspired me to pick up the new editions to do so.

Wow, that's cool. I had no idea that changes were made.

I wonder whether I should pick up a copy just to compare ...

Resurrecting this thread after 5 years ... I really like these stories, and it might be time for a reread. I will say that Donaldson's writing style does make for some overwrought prose at times - which works better in a more fantastic setting than a gumshoe novel, I think - but the characters and d...

I recently discovered a UK hardcover edition of this novel, published by Collins. That's now three UK editions I have - the hardcover (Collins) and the trade and mass market paperbacks (both Fontana). I'm hoping to eventually own all the UK editions of the Reed Stephens novels, but some of them are...

Not to get overly picky, but is Billingsgate a space station? Being situated on an asteroid, wouldn't it strictly be a base or colony?

Just out of interest, at the start of Runes you mention that a 'cow' was slaughtered to give the blood smeared over Covenants house when it was actually a 'horse'. Any reason for the change? When an audiobook is released at the same time as the print edition, the audiobook may need to be recorded b...

Here are some more pics of the numbered. There are still some copies available. www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/930/A0D4D089-91C6-4441-8FF4-FC3AB8C2DCF9.jpeg www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/930/373A2945-7583-4B5B-A2D0-35FD2C1E8746.jpeg www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/930/E14645E0-4F18-4725-8DF...

Yes, I couldn't resist getting both. Partly because they are quite different designs, and they both sounded great, and partly because I was so excited by the thought - finally - of a signed limited edition of the series that I went a bit overboard. Here are some more pics of the lettered: www.thedar...

From stephenrdonaldson.com: "I probably should have mentioned this some time ago, but I've been embarrassed. I used to pride myself on meeting my deadlines. But for reasons of ill health (my wife's as well as my own), I've been forced to get a considerable extension. Sadly, I won't meet that de...

I pronounce it "see-zhur" (like "seizure") or sometimes "say-zhur".

I'm also starting to see a date of October, 2021 for The Last Repository, but I'm hoping that's just a placeholder. June, 2020 is still mentioned on a few sites.

Or the reality could be closer to October, 2020 (given the 18 month period SRD is contracted for).

If nothing else, this quiz shows how much I need to reread these books! I can attest that the Mordant's Need books are fun to reread, Hunchback Jack! Many richly detailed characters, with lots of interesting interactions between them! :read: :mrgreen: I've read them maybe three or four times, if I ...

I saw this online today:



Was there a change in title that SRD approved for this book?
