    Chapter 1

    Welcome to DTT. I hope you enjoy the journey.
  2. Have a great day Curti!!!
  3. Yeppers! No hints needed. 'Greenmantle' along with 'Moonheart' are my two favorite De Lint novels. You have the floor.
  4. Well done Joann414. You've got the author. He's a master at introducing magic and mystery into 'real' world situations. This is one of his earlier works (I'm fairly certain) I wouldn't call it satirical Zombie - but there are definitely tough guys and classic baddies in the story.
  5. First clue. This story was inspired by a piece of 'mystery' in 'The Wind In The Willows' by Kenneth Graeme.
  6. Well, I had to look up the exact title - The Sorcerer In The North. Okies, here goes. Malta, August 1983 "By the time Eddie 'the Squeeze' Pinelli was five hours dead,Valenti was on a Boeing 747 halfway across the Atlantic."
  7. Yay! Finally I'm close to an answer. It's a Ranger's Apprentice book - something about a Sorcerer or Enchanter in the title I think. The whole series is a delightful, easy read from an (Aussie) author who is still alive and still writing
  8. Thanks for that Mike - Totally awesome.
  9. WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?

    Chapter 19

    ATTUNGA Part 19. *** “Wirrin, Thom and Calen. I am the Planning Assistant for your new home on Warrakan.” “Hello Wanna. Is that still your name?” “You are correct. Construction is scheduled to begin three months from now and you can make any changes or refinements you wish in the intervening period.” “We like the plan we have here, so we think we'll keep it almost the same when we move.” “It is pleasing to hear your satisfaction but the basic stipulations for your new residence suggest the

    Well, this story certainly has a sense of pace and action. Keep up the great work.

  13. ?? Intriguing imagery.

    Hmm! Very good question. I'll weave a fuller explanation into a later posting.(probably not the next one - but I'll have a look at it.)The reason for implementation? - recognition for the ways the trio has helped the Attunga society. I'm working on another reasonably quick posting but then it might return to the two to three week norm - the next stage of my health stuff kicks in next week. I'm delighted that the story continues to give you enjoyment.

    Part18

    There will be more detail about the extensive marine environments in the new larger sized reaches.No more sharks? - that remains to be seen. Sonic's health. yes, despite the super science on Attunga and Warrakan there are still things unknown. Lol - I wonder how the doctor knows these ancient terms? Thanks again for your reviews Stephen. Cheers back at you.

    Part 17.

    An Attunga fix? Lol - well I'm glad it makes you feel better.- a small contingent shared the Attunga reach to lighten the burden on the Warrakan one. Foiled yes - but only temporarily I'm afraid. I's not in their nature to 'live and let live'.

    Tnx for the review. Lol - and I can't even make an excuse for him not looking at the DNA now that he's got total clearance.

    Part18

    Attunga Part 18. *** “Guess what! We actually get to go to EdCom tomorrow.” “EdCom? What's that?” It was a week since their last EdCom session, even longer for Calen, three hectic days since the Comet docked safely, and the first evening they weren't arriving home late from Warrakan. The routine of life for the mass of dolphins in the great forty kilometer reach on Warrakan was starting to sort itself, mainly due to Sonic's leadership and help. Puck and Flute had stayed with the smaller cont

    Chapter 1

    Hmm! You've caught my interest. (apart from the strong language - which may be there to indicate the toughness of the character) I already like this bad-ass character with the good soul. You've portrayed him well. What can this dire message that's alarmed him so much be about?

    Part 17.

    Thanks Daddydavek. Yes, I is a bit short I agree, but 'due to unforeseen circumstances' there has been a holdup in the production of the story. I went for the option of a shorter chapter rather than a longer wait.

    Part 17.

    Attunga Part 17. “We won't see Sonic for the rest of the trip?” “You can watch him Thom, or go with him, but he'll be too busy to come to the Control Centre. I can see that he hasn't stopped moving around for even a minute yet.” “What's he saying to them?” A small section of screen showed Sonic in his transport module, communicating with his special InterWeb console, and anticipating Calen's request Wirrin brought up the sound. “...He's telling them all there's nothing to worry about. ...A
  23. Just as my mind was clawing its way up out of the gutter, too. Shame on you, larwain! Oops! My humble apologies Podga. Lol - the juxtaposition of ideas in your post tickled my fancy so much I couldn't help commenting. Now - back to the serious business of 'Where Is It From'.
  24. "hands over the baton" - lol - was that a quote from Cavafy or an inintended double entendre?
  25. Yay Kewljim!! Best of luck and BEST WISHES to you.
