It was the result of Alexanders death that elevated Jamie to the Wizard candidacy, thus by default, Nic to King as his mate. And according to Hippolito, Loran was to have been neutralized.

In a sense, Charlie is a backup if something should happen to Jamie. Jamie has told Charlie as much.

In Book 1, Part 4, chapter 49, Giovanni recalls Jamie, 'Regent'. He also tells him not call him that, it's something only they know about.

Chapter 106 has been posted.

I too am rereading the story this month. I'm currently just starting part 4.. As far as Jamie and Nic are concerned, something important to remember is who is telling us the story. It is Jamie telling us his story of his triumphs and failures. Perhaps, I'll have more once I get into Book 2.

Chapter 105 has been posted. Special note: Chapter 106, the stories Christmas chapter, will be posting in time for Christmas.

Chapter 104 has been posted.

At this point in time, I've not heard anything from Jamie. Tho there is still time for him to send me Gold.

Chapter 103 has been posted.

Chapter 102 has been posted early.

Chapter 101 has been posted.

Actually, the story hasn't been around that long. At AD, the first post in the forums was on October 4, 2004.

Yes, we could speculate about many things. If Loka is alive, it will be interesting to see how the meeting goes when Hippolito catches up with him. Hippolito has the Army and the Legion of Red and Black.

This interlude answers the immediate question of why they were in stasis for 2500 years instead of the planned 100 years. Perhaps when Jamie programed the machine, he programed it to cover other sections to keep Loka and his ilk out. We may not know the answer until Book 3. Remember, Jamie gives us information that sometimes appears in a future chapter. Before we can find that out tho, we still need to get thru Part 3, The Circle of Ondra, as we still have Loran to deal with. I'm guessing that Book 3 will then begin to deal with Hippolito and Gude.

INTERLUDE THE SEVENTH, SILVER HAS BEEN POSTED.

Chapter 100 has been posted.

For those of you who don't know it, editorguy (AJ) has some stories posted at Awesomedude. There's also an interview with him.

And some of the answers will be surprising.

Yes, I agree about the the interludes. They bring us pieces of the story that don't have a good place within the body of the story to be told. Depending upon how you look at them, they can bring us something from the past, present, or future of the story.

Chapter 99 has been posted.

Chapter 98 has been posted.

I can tell you that Silver is about three pages as a word doc using standard size font. Gold, historically, has been one page. Since I've not seen it yet, I can't say how long it will be. So there could be a chance that both Interlude chapters will be posted together, but don't hold me to it.

Silver is still waiting to be posted.

I've heard from Jamie. He's still working on Gold. He's also sent me chapter 45, the first chapter of Part 4. I'm guessing that once gold completes the process, we'll start seeing some chapters again.

I know the last time we went thru a lengthy hiatus with Jamie, he was here in the states working on his degree, and teaching. That took up a lot of his time so he put the story on the back burner. At home, he teaches at a University an hour away. He also does consulting work for some companies. Twice a year, he comes back to the States to teach, early in the year for two weeks in Las Vegas, and then again towards the end of the summer semester at Penn State for two to three weeks. I do know from past emails, he has been working on chapters for Part 4 and he only sends them one at to his editor. As it was started, things to come up. Even AJ has things come up that caused slow downs, one of which was a computer problem. Unfortunately, life can be cruel to us. An author I work with works second shift for company. Recently the company relocated to another building and he was involved in long hours getting ready to move and then the move. Now, the company is sending him back to school for another degree. And don't feel alone about not hearing back from Jamie. It happens to all of us. When he's able to get back to us, I'll probably be one of the first ones he contacts as he knows I'll let this group know.
