I've even been known to buy a couple of copies of a book if I think it's really really good. The Outcast is great but not $140 great! Goodness.<br /><br />Jenny: LOL! I didn't even see that. Must be my great subconscious mind at work. <br /><br />Peggy & Sherre: I'm on a mission to try and get a copy now!<br /><br />Cathy: There are some truly unique concepts in this book. I'm going to try and email the author this week. If anything I just want to let her know how much I enjoyed her books.Lanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002224549199474383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249141384507760517.post-1992968482567687142011-10-30T09:34:42.059+11:002011-10-30T09:34:42.059+11:00It does sound great thoughIt does sound great thoughSherrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05132055588504532128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249141384507760517.post-2826095924633382752011-10-30T09:34:21.314+11:002011-10-30T09:34:21.314+11:00OMG!!!

As if everyone already knows what I'm talking about. A throwback is a reversion to a former characteristic, in this instance the two races, the Megas and the Zoners had a common ancestor but their distinctly different lifestyles have evolved them into physically different looking people. Fish is at least a full head taller, light eyed and haired and much skinnier than his Zoners family. Mega throwbacks are usually taken deep into the forest and left to die because they are a reminder of the Megas who are considered abominations. Zoner throwbacks also occur in Megalopolis and they are thrown off the pier for the body harvesters to use as fertilizer. I think I will email the author. It's funny to think of hooks going out of print. For some reason I just feel like a print book is eternal.Lanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002224549199474383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249141384507760517.post-13152952555575732712011-10-28T21:49:02.186+11:002011-10-28T21:49:02.186+11:00What an interesting story concept!

Is physically different, or is it more of a knowledge-seeking thing?<br /><br />That's sad you couldn't find a copy. :( I'd be tempted to email the author, if you can find her - at the very least, she'll be happy to hear her story is still being loved and read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
