From: Dean Sutherland <Sutherland@TL-20B.ARPA> No "sequel warnings" can be blamed strictly on the publisher/editor: it is NOT the author's fault. I do believe, however, that there should have been a sequel warning included. Now for your other comments: @begin<flame> The ONLY plot element "Godstalk" shares with "Breed to Come" is one (1) cat. In fact the cat in GS is just a cat (which happens to talk), while the cats in BTC were the intelligent mutated descendants of today's house cats. NOT a very close match! GS is NOT 'a poor womans version of Norton's "Breed to Come"' it is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT kind of book with ONLY ONE plot element (out of many) in common!!!! The plot may be convoluted (OK, "crazed"), but it has quite a few original ideas which are VERY well presented. Over all, I would recommend the book highly to anyone who does not hate fantasy. @end<flame> Dean F. Sutherland
