Lines: 16 From: callaghan%pseudo.DEC@decwrl.ARPA (Gaylene Callaghan DTN:523-4523) Try Janet Morris' books on Estri's adventures. The first book in the series is "High Couch of Silistra". I believe there are four books in the series. These aren't like her other books, at least the first two aren't. (Towards the end of the third book she really gets into the "god" wars and things get a little out of hand.) Estri is the main character throughout the books (and a heroin, I might add). (As you probably noticed, I'm sort of partial to Estri.) For those that absolutely cannot stand fantasy, I wouldn't recommend the series, but to those with an open mind they are delightful. Gaylene
