The King's Justice
I just posted a sample chapter of The Augur's Gambit (the other novella in the book) on the main page of the official site (www.StephenRDonaldson.com). Let me know if there are any problems.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

I enjoyed reading the snippet so much that I couldn't resist trying to calculate the size of Indemnie based on the information given by the Augur.
That a man on a good horse at a leisurely pace could travel in 2 fortnights the length of the island's coastline.
I was interested to see if Indemnie mirrored a real world island.
This was more of a challenge than I expected. Knowing next to nothing about horses I had to do some googling to make the calculations more realistic.
If anyone's interested, my guesstimate is that the island of Indemnie is about the size of Cyprus.

(It actually does help, I can read a lot longer late at night!)
I've actually read THREE books in the last year, thank you very much. (Cloud Atlas, 2312, Red Rising, and I'm starting the Martian now.)
I think the main problem is that The Last Chronicles, unfortunately, bored me to tears.
