Re: "R.A.MacAvory's "Damiyano" NOT A SPOILER" from Sonia Schwartzberg First of all, the author's name is spelled 'MacAvoy'. Also, I the novel is called 'Damiano'. Second: I refer to your statement, "[Tea With the Black Dragon] was not without its flaws, but these flaws were fairly easy for me to overlook ..." Well, yes, I suppose that non-existent flaws WOULD be easy to overlook ... Seriously, I would be most gratified if you would elaborate upon the flaws that you found with TWTBD. I personally found the book flawless, but it is entirely possible that I've missed something. And I care enough about the book and the author to hear anyone's opinion, for or against. Perry

In answer to the title request: The story is IN THE BONE by Poul Anderson. I have it in an old IF magazine, and it is in one of his collections. Pretty good story. I was surprise after reading the story that Poul Anderson had written it. It has some of the flavor of his AFTER DOOMSDAY. I wish Anderson would write a few more short stories set in the "Flandry" era. Clark H.
