I've heard that Joel Rosenberg has come out with book five of his
"Guardians of the Flame" series, called "The Hero Lives."  It is
supposedly only out in hardback, but I haven't been able to find
it anywhere.  Anybody know anything about it?

Well, it's out, in hardback (I found it at the local Barnes & Noble), and
called _The Warrior Lives_.

I don't remember how much it is nor the ISBN #, and my copy is probably on
the opposite coast... but I hope this helps all the Rosenberg fans out
there.  [Hi Joel.]

You know, when I read the ending to _The Heir Apparent_, I thought that
Ahira, (the Dwarf), and Walter were simply setting up a legend that
Karl Cullinane was still alive.  Except for Doria's line, "It will sustain
you for longer than they think possible...", there is no indication that
Karl has the ability to survive a ground-zero explosion of 20 pounds of
guncotton.

I would really like to find that book.  I really enjoy authors who can
let characters die so I can grieve for them.  Some authors who've done
this really well, in my opinion are:

David Brin, for the Chimp in Sundiver, and Cyclops, in the Postman,
Robert Heinlein, before he ressurrected Mike, the computer in Moon in
a Harsh Mistress.
Hmmm, any others out there?

	If a bad guy can survive an inferno to come back in a later
book, a good guy ought to be able to survive an explosion.  :-)  But
then, I guess that wasn't Karl's first explosion.

	Mercedes Lackey's _Arrows of the Queen_ series.  As the books
deal with a rather hazardous occupation and cover several years, lots
of folks die; some central characters, some not.  Her latest, _Magic's
Pawn_ or some such, is the first in a trilogy about a character whose
death is mentioned in _Arrows of the Queen_ (he's a legendary hero).
Since the ending has already been given away, I found it interesting
that the subject wasn't covered up, but made obvious; gave the
character the magical ability of fore-sight and let him see his death
coming--and he still has to get through two more books.
