You guys always say that. Then again I've read enough of Neil Smith's outlines to know that no actuary (and few bookies) would give odds on finishing them all and he keeps coming up with new ones. (And in between, "wasting" his time with all those essays I love so much).
I'd like to see more stuff in the LaNague universe. But you said you weren't doing science fiction anymore. Then you did Sims (not exactly "slice-of-life")..

I like Glaeken. I saw on internet The Keep movie and I do not like the actor from that movie. Makes Glaeken not seem as powerful. They kill Nazis which is good. We still have to live with that mark so it is good to see this.

It was implied in The Keep that Glaeken was a commander and leader of the armies opposing Rasalom and his forces, so I'm sure he would remember those times well. As for his power, it's important to remember that he is fundamentally a man, with all the potential faults a man might have. He's not infallible, doesn't know everything, but he is very wise in the ways of humanity.

His memories of even the big things that far back are probably not that clear. I think RAH said it best in the mouth of Andy Libby in Methuselah's Children that memory accumulates linearly with time, but corelation of memory is geometric. And it's been a hundred and fifty centuries or so. Which of your childhood memories are direct and which are memories of remembering your childhood?

It's been estimated that the human brain has around 2.5 petabytes of memory available, depending on how the individual neurons interconnect. Depending how memories are stored, this could potentially provide many thousands of years of linear memories of images and dialogue, at the very least. Whether a person could organize and access all that information easily is another matter. Still, it seems a quirk of the human brain that we can remember things from decades ago with clarity, while no being able to remember where we left our keys 5 minutes ago.

Going pre-pre-order this right now.
I like the parallels in how Glaeken was so certain he was done, and he got pulled back in, and how we are pulling FPW back into the world he believed was finished.

He doesn't have to be battling it out with Rasalom either. There could be much so much to tell.

More Glaeken would be great, but I'm really interested in how Rasalom got rid of the other Six of the Seven. And the story of how Srem put together the Compendium.
