Ok I'm going to take the silence as need for another hint.

The protagonist has lost weight of course, because he has just received a gunshot wound. There, that should make it positively simple now

Damn, you people are good

The silent treatment works, I can tell you - I just have to give another clue now!

It's Stephen Donaldson. Now get guessing!!

I will hazard a guess: The Man Who Fought Alone.

This is my first time here so I don't really know the rules. Lazy Hashi.

Incorrect Hashi, but thanks for playing!

The rules are very simple: the first sentence of a book is the clue, and you need to guess the book it is associated with.

Since it is an SRD book, the answer should come quite easily now, even if it is a guess.

I'm not familiar with the Man Who books, at all.

The Man Who Killed His Brother?

Nice guess Muffin! But incorrect again. Come on boys and girls - you call yourselves Donaldson fans?? Prove yourselves!

Knowing my luck it will be the other one, but The Man who Risked his Partner?

Bwahahaha!!!

The Man who tried to Get Away? There, we've covered all the books in that series.

The eastern stars were paling to the dawn as Lessingham followed his conductor along the grass walk between the shadowy ranks of Irish yews, that stood like soldiers mysterious and expectant in the darkness.

Without looking, that reminds me somehow of The Thirty-Nine Steps.

Post by **Billy G.** » Wed May 15, 2013 8:26 pm

Nope, not 39 Steps. Good try though.

Very good! I'm going to re-read that, after 37 years!

"One thing sure," Beatrice said wryly as she wrapped the squalling, wriggling baby tightly into the fine cotton sheet his mother had woven for just this moment, "he's got your lungs, Petiron. Here! I've got to make Merelan more comfortable now."

Hint: Anne McCaffrey wrote it.

The Masterharper of Pern

Didn't need the hint, just needed the quote bumped so I noticed it. Menolly never comes to this forum, but she has assuredly made me aware of these books.

Post by **Cord Hurn** » Fri Feb 20, 2015 3:15 am

You are absolutely correct, Savor Dam! (But it sounds like you knew that.

)

Your turn to choose a quote!

Post by **Cord Hurn** » Sat Feb 28, 2015 5:00 am

*Bump* for Savor Dam. Your turn to choose the first lines quote, O mighty Bison!

Post by **Cord Hurn** » Thu Mar 05, 2015 8:00 pm

*bump* again for Savor Dam
