The Burning Stone - The missing fifty pages - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Lacedaemonian · 26th June 2005, 07:54 PM

I was reading The Burning Stone last night in bed and got to page 84 and turned to page 85 and it was not there. Instead I was greeted by page 133. My copy of the book has almost fifty pages missing from it. Awesome. This is the first time I have encountered this problem in my quater century or so of life.

That's hard breaking... the best stuff happens during those pages too...

So, what are you going to do? Take the book back or do you want a brief summary of those pages from one of us?

Lacedaemonian · 26th June 2005, 08:29 PM

I think that I will just download it.

Alia · 26th June 2005, 08:32 PM

mmmm.... didn't think of that.
So how do you like the series so far? How about the Prince of Dogs, did you like that?
Have you figured out who Alain is yet?

Lacedaemonian · 26th June 2005, 09:19 PM

Not yet but he is a very likeable character but has not featured much in the Burning Stone yet. The battle at the end of the Prince of Dogs was excellent.

Alia · 26th June 2005, 09:38 PM

I think the battles, especially the one at the end, in The Burning Stone are the best... mmmmm... maybe the last one in Book 5, The Gathering Storm...

Lacedaemonian · 27th June 2005, 11:18 PM

You tease!
Liath and Sanglant are siblings.

Alain has some link to the late emperor Tallifer (not sure how to spell that one)

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Am I? Or am I being truthful? Hmmmm... sounds like a good poll question when the series is done.

And you spelled Tallifer right.

By any chance did you find the missing 50 pages? Have you read them yet?

Lacedaemonian · 27th June 2005, 11:39 PM

My laptop and desktop are both knackered. So I had to borrow a laptop so that I could download the book and print off the pages. I have only read ten or so pages as I have been busy at work.

Alia · 27th June 2005, 11:43 PM

Work makes reading hard... at least you have the pages!

Lacedaemonian · 27th June 2005, 11:45 PM

Yes but I will hold it against Kate for all my days!

Alia · 27th June 2005, 11:50 PM

Kate? Why Kate? I had all the pages in my book... I think it was the book seller who shorted you... not Kate...
I personally would have taken the book back and made up a sob story, crying to the book seller... would have been such a pathetic scene I would have received a new book, all pages included FREE!

Lacedaemonian · 27th June 2005, 11:56 PM

The chance of them having another copy was slim, the chance of this copy being complete was slimmer still. Nah, Kate will eternally to blame for this one.

Alia · 27th June 2005, 11:59 PM

Your a harsh man, Lacey. So... do you like the series?

Lacedaemonian · 28th June 2005, 12:01 AM

Fantastic series if not a little depressing. I love Alain but he does not feature enough.
