As <a href="http://www.wam.umd.edu/~stwright/WrBr/Wrights.html" target="_blank">this link</a> mentions, the author is a descendant of the Wright Brothers! BTW, when that page says Publishers Weekly calls John C. Wright "this fledgling century's most important new SF talent, that's <a href="http://www.sff.net/people/john-c-wright/book-goldenage.html" target="_blank">my review</a> they're talking about! Doing capsule reviews for PW is nice because your writing gets to reach a big audience, except that your name isn't on it...Reading <a href="http://www.dendarii.com/chalion.html" target="_blank">The Curse of Chalion</a>  & Paladin of Souls, along with Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series, made me think that most RPG games suffer from an over-abundance of gods; both authors do wonderful things with a very small pantheon.I'm commenting on other folks' reads because my own are boring and will be for quite some time: Patrick O'Brian's <a href="http://www.wwnorton.com/POB/pobtitles.htm" target="_blank">Aubrey and Maturin</a> series. I'm on  The Surgeon's Mate and it makes me infinitely happy that I have 13 more to go!</blockquote>
