Without that, I might have actually forked over real money for books that, as it turned out, made root canals look like pleasant experiences. From the little I've heard of Afterlife, I'm wondering if it doesn't fall into that category. Ellynne ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

My library has five C S Friedman books; not sure which sequence to order them in. And are there some good Vila avatars out there too? BTW when I was searching for B7 books at amazon.com, some about a detective (I think) called Jenna Blake came up. Is this coincidence, is the author just using the name, or is she Jenna?

He is wonderful, isn't he. I got a quarter of the way through the book before it hit me. My family was a little surprised when I shouted, "It's Blake!" I'm glad I wasn't just imagining it. <g> Zenia

Kaldor City

Have just finished listening to Kaldor City: Occam's Razor. It's bloody brilliant, in spite of what I think is the hammiest performance I've ever heard from Paul Darrow (and that's saying something). I'll write a proper review when I've got time. -- Julia Jones "Science is not about building a body of known 'facts'.

Nicola asked: >Jacqui wrote: >> Does that American detective story with 'a group of names' >> deliberately borrowed from Blake's Seven count? > >Which one's that? Do you have any details? How close are the names? Are they >recognisable as characters too? US crime novelist Barbara Paul has written several novels based on her character, Marian Larch. Her friend Carl Holland is based on Avon and there are a couple of B7 references in the books. In one book (Fare Play?) she went B7 crazy and named characters, streets, businesses, etc, after things and people in B7. The book is dedicated to the "Avon-without-guilt" gang.

I'm selling my own copy, and my brother's, of Scorpio Attack on Amazon.com Marketplace. (Mine is autographed by Terry Nation). My seller name is k-services. I am plugging ONLY because Tereth Dragonstar complained about not being able to find and someone suggested ebay, neglecting Amazon.com Marketplace.
