Chapter 12 is posted. Ryzel, I have you down for 13. Any other chapters you want to reserve ahead of time?

No I will try 13 first, and then see how it goes.

Chapter 14 is posted. Thank you, Kasten, that's one of the most dramatic chapters in the book. Who would like to sign up for Ch 15? Ryzel, Nav? You both got the books recently.

We don't have a volunteer for Chap 15 yet. I'm not going to be able to do it. I am absolutely swamped through this weekend. (oh sleep, sweet sleep, where art thou?)

Thank you, Kasten. I didn't want to ask you because this was your week for the ONE TREE chapters. (Beautiful job on Ch9, I'm looking forward to Ch10). But since you offered :) I put your name on it.

Chapter 15 is posted. Kasten, I didn't realize until I saw your English, how heroic it was of you to fit this into your schedule. :)

Do we have a volunteer for chapter 16? Other chapters? We're nearing the end of the book and you're almost out of time if you want to participate.

Welcome, Chrysalis. :) It's unusual to come into Donaldson-dom by way of the mysteries. It would give you a new and unusual (to us) viewpoint. If you have looked at the other dissections to see what is going on, and would like to participate, we would be happy to have you join in.

Chapters 18 and 19 are the only ones left -- Syl, are you still in a position to do 20? -- so let me know whatever you might like me to sign you up for. The scheduled posting date for Chapter 18 is Sunday the 9th.

:)

Joy, am still browsing through and getting a feel for how it all works but give me a day or so and then would be happy to participate if thats ok:)
A friend has been trying to get me to read the Gap series but since I tend towards thrillers and crime when I noticed he had written something more gearded toward that genre ...well...here I am. I am sort of working my way up to his other works.

Sure, Chrysalis, have fun. 8)

How felicitous. Donaldson says he writes the mysteries when he is working his way up to his other books. :)

We have one more chapter in THE MAN WHO KILLED HIS BROTHER, and that one is Syl's. Be sure not to miss it. :)

Many apologies, but I appear to have left my book and my notes for dissection on the ship. It's been a hectic week. I'll post it first thing tomorrow afternoon after I get off work.
