Fair enough. Well, I think the Rachel/Kassad timelines diverge and converge at times, so that's one-and-half or two, depending on your POV. I'd say Brawne Lamia's timeline could be thought of as another, while Het Masteen's could be third. But that's only thoughts after the fact. Certainly the pilgrims share a common past, and while they seem to have possibly divergent futures, I never really thought of their futures as separate timelines. But then, metaphysics has never been my strong suit. :) Jim _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
