[net.sf-lovers] New P.C. Hodgell

Well, that's the good news:
"Dark of the Moon", P.C. Hodgell, Argo Press (Atheneum), 1985, 
ISBN 0-689-31171-0
 
And, yes, it is a sequel to "Godstalk".  I bought it ten minutes ago,
so that's all I know.
 
The bad news: it's in hardback, at $19.95.  Save your pennies!
 
For those who haven't encountered Hodgell, I heartily recommend
her first book, "Godstalk".  It's set in Tai-Tastigon, a city so
convoluted that it makes Lankhmar and Sanctuary seem straight-forward.
The heroine, Jame, is an amnesiac;  she begins the book fleeing, though
she knows not what or why.  She also has rather unusual hands... the fingernails
seem to be retractible.  It's a fascinating book; I'm saying as little as
possible to avoid giving anything away.
 
Off to Tai-Tastigon again,
