To understand why that weedy field at the corner of Indian River Road and Reon Drive bugs Andy Watkins, you must know it's a toe- bone-connected-to-the-leg-bone kind of scenario.   Wait a minute, Warrior, you say: You missed a couple of bones.

His newest athletic endeavor is the triathlon, but Jeff Thomason gladly will put that on hold while he renews acquaintances with his onetime sporting passion -- football.

Tycho:  It is often the case that we are jumped by four or five horde ten levels higher than us.  This is often because we've jumped a friend of theirs, ten levels lower than us, as retribution for some earlier act of aggression, in slavish iteration of a behavior that has - as its culmination - the end of all life, everywhere.

Tycho: It's available almost everywhere, actually, but we have it on our own store now if you do not already posess it. I've seen a few out there in The Retail Book Fortresses, so should you desire a copy of Epic Legends Of The Magic Sword Kings, the process will be very straightforward. I think it turned out really well, but I wrote all of it, and I get paid when you buy it. So I might not be the person to ask.  Trivia: The third book is called The Warsun Prophecies, which we already announced. The fourth book is called "Birds Are Weird."(CW)TB
