From: Andrew D. Sigel <sigel@umass-cs> > 1986 will also see the publication of "Her Majesties > Wizard", a book Stasheff wrote back in 78', completely unrelated to > the Warlock series and universe. Well, in 1979, "A Wizard in Bedlam" was published (and therefore written in 1978 at the earliest). While it is not immediately apparent that the book is related to the Warlock series, closer reading will show that one of the characters is Magnus d'Armand (son of Rod Gallowglass and Gwendelon); in fact, Magnus is the 'Wizard' of the title, and thus the book cannot be said to be unrelated at all. My suspicious mind cannot help noting the 'Wizard' in the new novel, and, given Stasheff's tendency to 'Warlock' novels for Rod, will have yielded to the same pattern in "Her Majesty's Wizard". Incidentally, in the 1982 printing of "The Warlock In Spite Of Himself", HMW was listed as 'forthcoming'. Ace Books is certainly taking its own sweet time getting it in print! Andrew Sigel
