: I put it with 'Witch World' due to the names/language used, which seemed to me to be closer to that series than to the main line.I think the names/language used is more a matter of when the book was written than anything else. :I seem to remember, also, reading a story of people ariving in/on what I believed to be 'Witch World' that seemed to refer to the situations from 'Star Gate'. Which group of people arriving -- there have been so many! An interesting and not-unreasonable speculation; but I don't recall any of these groups being composed of handsome giants and six-fingered midgets. If I'm wrong, I'm sure I will be chastised for my errors. :Granted, this does leave some degree of timeline confusion, but, given her acceptance of time travel in the majority of her works, it is a possiblilty. I'd be willing to listen to arguments otherwise, but, to me it just fits there. :I was able to access Maureen's timeline, and found it interesting. I also didn't realize Ms Norton had so many historical novels out. I'll have to start looking them up. ABE is going to get a lot of surfing, I see. :I do have another question, though. I only read 'Brother To Shadows' in a library copy. (Funds have been short lately, and imagine, the family actually wants to eat!) But wasn't there a brief reference to the Solar Queen in there? I need to reread that one. Tell the family you're buying food for the soul and spirit -- and they probably eat too much anyway. 500 calories a day is enough for anybody, if there are good books at hand. I don't recall any reference to the Solar Queen, but there are definite connections with CATSEYE -- and Brother to Shadows could be loosely considered a sequel (No, No, Irene -- put down the axe -- I said loosely!).
