Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Child of an Ancient City

Twas my first Tad book, and coming back to it after MS&T and Otherland, I find it just as good as I remembered.  I also noticed the name of one of Tad's entrepreneurial ventures in his amusing bio - Telemorphix, anyone?  Hehehe... Tad is so cool.

I loved the Tale of the Under-vizier Walid al-Salameh.  Fantastic, creepy, just right.

Nope, this one was the one with the 'It is done, O prince', though the balance one was good also.

You'll like it!!! It's a great story!

Re: Child of an Ancient City

The podcast STAR SHIP SOFA has a great audio version of Tad's short story online for download. But you can also listen to it directly on the site.
