Going off on a tangent here... you liked Faith of the Fallen? Ugh. I was disgusted when I realized I was reading a *bad* rehash of Ayn Rand- if I wanted Randian ideologues spouting off in fiction at me, I'll go to the source, thank you every much. Totally spoiled the series for me. ~Maru One was just plain awesome though. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
