The Okal Rel Universe in evolution and in the world.

 

Classic bit of "reality skimming" stuff from Patsy Crawford, one of the authors for the 2nd anthology (still at the printers but showing signs of life there!).

Follow the link to a positive reception for Righteous Anger from T.M. Martin of the Yet Another Book Review site. Best of all, he concludes with "Bring on the third volume" which is both exciting and daunting as I struggle with same. Horth was a dream to work with as an author - he's so direct! Di Mon plays a larger role in the third volume, Pretenders, and is anything but straight forward, damn him. Not to mention the multiple story line challenge. But at least I have the theme which is how power (fear of it, desire for it, or the mere fact it exists in the form it does) forces people to "pretend" to be something they aren't; the impact on identity which results; and how people either break or cope.
