Who is this "Ragnorson" and "Varhlokkur?" I assume they got the first one by glancing at the copy on the back of the Tor edition, which uses a similar misspelling. The latter, with the "t" missing from Varthlokkur, is just sloppy. So is using the word "Marshaling" when the book title is "Marshalling." I checked my dictionary, both are considered acceptable, even if spell-checkers want the former. Finally notice that "climatic" events are mentioned, but not "climactic" ones. I tried to send Nightshade an email about this, but their listed contact email is apparently invalid!
I am continually amazed that the books get to us at all. So long as the books get to us, and the royalties get to the writers, everything else comes out in the wash. -- Veteran, Bermuda Triangle Expeditionary Force, 1993-1951
