I've read SoD several times - I just wish I knew where DA was going with it - I'm sure all the clues are there even if I can't see them...

And the Dirk Gently stories on TV soon - makes me miss him even more.

My first thought when I saw that 'SoD' was Spear of Destiny, which takes me way back!

I think with EV's sigh and DH saying that he will miss him kind of answers the question.

I have it on tape and listen to it from time to time, usually when painting wargaming figures, for some reason.

I have always found it very odd that the Peter Jones who was the voice of the book is the same Peter Jones who was the old man on Just A Minute, who died 12 years ago. :shock:
