It is, however, a very good sign of confidence and maturity in MacAvoy for her to realize that she has enough control of her material to kill off her central character in the middle of a series.

Besides, after thinking about the two books I came to realize that Damiano did what I had expected him to do, and it fit right in with his character. chuq -- From under the bar at Callahan's: Chuq Von Rospach {amd70,fortune,hplabs,menlo70}!nsc!chuqui (408) 733-2600 x242 To work it out I let them in; All the good guys and the bad guys that I've been; All the devils that disturbed me, and the angels that defeated them somehow; Come together in me now.
