Almost done with Fatal Error. And, as Maxwell Smart would have it, llllllloving it.
This should be a fairly S P O I L E R -free post, but there may be enough hints of what's to come to consider it worth the warning.
On page 248 of the Gauntlet HC, Jack, Weezy, Veilleur, and the Lady are discussing strategies, tactics, the Otherness, the q'qr, and of course, the One. It just sort of jumped out at me, because sometimes when I'm alone, I'll read books aloud (helps me sink more deeply into them); but, whenever I see a certain R-fellow's name, I don't say out out loud. That said...there's a time Jack is talking:
[INDENT]" 'The big question, as I see it, is why is a baby q'qr so important? I mean, important enough for Rasalom himself to keep--"
[/INDENT]Whoah-whoah-whoah, time out! Jack? Aw, come on! :mad2: Since when does HE get to drop the One's name without...consequence? (And since nobody in the room stopped him from saying it, my guess is this truly was just an error...and hopefully not a Fatal one.)
Just something to keep in mind for the trade edits, FP. (Nice as always to see you again, by the way!)
"...and your last thought is that you have become a noise...a thin, nameless noise among all these others...howling in the empty dark room"
