Hello to all! I first read the Chronicles in the early '80s and loved them. I've re-read both Chronicles a few times over the years, but had no idea SRD was writing a third. One evening I was browsing around in Hastings and I came upon a copy of Fatal Revenant - OMG!

I quickly purchased it - but realized it was book 2, so I found Runes of the Earth and picked that up also. After doing a search for SRD's site, I found you folks. (This is my first discussion forum, so bear with me!) I began reading Runes, but decided I needed to re-read the first two Chronicles again first. (Especially after reading some of the in-depth discussions here!

)

Hello everyone! I'm Nequam. I'm a newbie to this series, and am in the middle of Illearth War at the moment. (loved the first one to a great extent!!!) This site was referenced to me through another forum for Steven Erikson's A Tale of the Malazan Book of Fallen. (my favorite writer...but now very, very closely followed by SRD)

Welcome Nequam. I'm pretty sure I welcomed you in the First and Second Chrons forum already.

Be sure to head down to the Library forum, where you will find a sub-forum for Steven Erikson. There are a lot of fans of the Malazan series here.

Yeah you did.

But thanks, I'll go check it out. I'm still getting my 'new forum' legs and am not great at navigating yet.

Thanks for the heads up Avatar.

I'll be trying to finish the Covenant series as fast as I can but my schedule might not allow it.

I'm newbies

I'm French and I LOVE Thomas Covenant.

____________________________________
Little story of Thomas Covenant in France :

- Some years ago , a first translation of Thomas Covenant went out in "France, in paperback ( which had been shortened!)
It was a very bad translation.

-In 2005 , the first integral translation of Thomas Covenant
(book 1)went out
It's a very good translation , even if some people say " It's always better in the English version " .You can see diferent covers in French here:

www.amazon.fr/s?ie=UTF8&tag=firefox-fr- ... lla-search

-Actually , the 5th book has just been published and I'm reading it.
________________________________________________

"How did you become a fan of Thomas Covenant the Incredulous?"

[I didn't really read books .One day , I was in a vacation camp (about computering) and i met somebody who was reading the first book of Thomas Covenant. I didn't know that book but it seemed interesting. I asked him :
" - What does your book deal with ?
And he only answered me :
- It's very dark and special. "
These words were meaningful enough to attract my curiosity. Sometimes later , I began to read it. It was a lightning shot ! A revelation !
It was The first book I managed to the very last page and I did so with a real pleasure .
Fabulous !Amazingly fantastic!
The following months , I bought all the other books as soon as they came out.

And today , I realize , especially in the second chronicle that my life resembles curiously that of Thomas Covenant.
I know , I'm a big fan , but I 'm not making up^^

Sometimes , it's funny....^^ ]

As for my English , i'm only 16 and i'm doing my best to understand and practice all the subtleties of your "dialect" . Feel free to correct my mistakes:)

...hoping Alta Vista's Babel Fish doesn't let me down, as I don't know a lick of French...

Soyez bienvenu à la montre, Yurikae. Soyez venu bon et rectifiez.

What I am hoping that says is...

Be Welcome to the Watch, Yurikae. Be well come and True.
