2080 (Autumn) - Branded by Fire
2080 (Winter) - Blaze of Memory
2081 (late WInter, Jan/Feb?) Bonds of Justice
6 years, five months, and three weeks ago.

I know, I have two dates given for StS and VoH
Explanation included ^^

Judd was 26, going on 27 in CbI, He was an Arrow for 8 years, from 18-26, since he is almost 27 in CbI, his birthday must be sometime in Spring. So, the Laurens must have defected sometime after Spring 2078

For Reference: /Q&A post by NS)

"Bonds of Justice" is set at the beginning of 2081 (in SF), while "Play of Passion" is set a little later, during spring (which is still cold in the mountains).

I'm just re-reading CBI, and it says Judd and father Xavier met 6 years ago, the same time Sahara went missing and he met the Ghost, I think.

by TheFLuff Sat Nov 26, 2011 2:29 pm

Later he says, he met Father Perez a year after meeting the Ghost. Sad

It doesn´t add up

by Lulu2011 Sat Nov 26, 2011 4:56 pm

It could be a continuity error. Might be worth emailing Nalini about it? See what she says perhaps?

by TheFLuff Sat Nov 26, 2011 5:05 pm

I did and asked for the exact dates, when the first three books take place

by Lulu2011 Sat Nov 26, 2011 5:14 pm

That's great! I'm glad you asked.

Also, here is another question and Nalini's answer from that web session that she did back in June 2010. I keep thinking this psy child has to be Kaleb:

Question: I've got a question about a scene from “STROKE OF ENTICEMENT”. When Annie is injured as a child, a male psy child appears and frees her from the wreckage. Do we find out more about this psy child and who he grows up to be?

Nalini's Answer: Yes, in a future book. Smile

by TheFLuff Sat Nov 26, 2011 5:16 pm

There can´t be THAT many cardinal TK kids who fall in the fitting age range, really Wink

by **Patricia** Sat Nov 26, 2011 5:42 pm

She actually answered that here in our Q&A. oô Noticed it three ours ago.

by Lulu2011 Sat Nov 26, 2011 7:28 pm

I forgot that she stops by here now and again.

Any chance you could get her to come back to this forum to do a Q & A next spring, maybe before Angels of Darkness or Tangle comes out?

by **Patricia** Sun Nov 27, 2011 3:58 am

We could definitely ask her. I mean, with as many board members as we have, including some with OCD.. Would be a good idea. : )

My English isn't as good as yours so maybe one of you should ask her. I hereby give you my power as a mod. LOL

And we'd need to ask Katherine if she creates a new Topic. (or if she gives me the admin-powers to do it muahaha *wears Superman suit already*) Then, we could move the first FAQ and the new one - of Nalini agrees XD - to one mother-topic. : )

by Lulu2011 Sun Nov 27, 2011 1:27 pm

Well, I'll be happy to ask her. I think I'd like to wait another week or two to see if she answers the email I sent her about Riaz/Adria and Tangle. I haven't yet heard anything back. If someone else wants to email her or her assistant before then, no problem, go for it.

by Nina Sun Nov 27, 2011 3:37 pm

That list has to be off...

The prologue to StS indicates it is 2079, not explicitly, but strongly.

*tears out hair*

Now I've got to go find my old lists...

by TheFLuff Sun Dec 18, 2011 5:38 am

Ok, Got my answer:

Thank you for your email. Slave to Sensation, Visions of Heat and Caressed by Ice are all set in the year 2079.

But it still doesn´t add up. Gnah!

by Nina Sun Dec 18, 2011 5:41 pm

Yay! I had it right! I get to keep my hair!

by **Patricia** Sun Dec 18, 2011 9:37 pm

Poor Nina and her lost lists.

by TheFLuff Mon Dec 19, 2011 4:16 am

We both had it right *g*

But it STILL doesn´t add up Sad

by Lulu2011 Mon Dec 19, 2011 9:15 am

Fluff, did you ask Nalini via email?

by TheFLuff Mon Dec 19, 2011 11:05 am

by TheFLuff Fri Jan 27, 2012 3:34 am

Got an Answer to Bonds of Justice:

Beginning of 2081

so... still doesn´t add up, sorry Sad

by Alake Fri Mar 30, 2012 5:54 am

Wow ! So much argumenting, all your opinions are so interesting to read, it made me think a lot.

I'm pretty sure Kaleb is the Ghost. Actually, I never considered anyone else for that role before reading this thread ; but it's more of a gut feeling than anything - keep that in mind for the rest of what I'm about to say.

For me, the Ghost is cold, very very cold ; both Aden and Vasic are not cold enough to be him. Aden cares about his fellow Arrows, and we know Vasic is impacted by what he's forced to do (TheFluff's citation is the best example of this).

Plus, I don't remember Judd thinking about the Ghost as an Arrow. I think if he knew the Ghost was part of the squad, there would be more of a "kinship" feeling, am I making sense here ?

And lastly, when Faith was "talking" with the NetMind and he showed her the PsyNet with all the fractures, she saw that the oldest one was the Ghost. Reading that, I thought, maybe it goes back to when the Ghost was very young... like 20 years ago, under the guidance of a psychopatic Concilor.

Well anyway, I'm really impatient to read what Nalini is going to write about that ; I'm sure she can still surprise us all.

by TheFLuff Mon Apr 02, 2012 5:13 am

I think next will be Kalebs book... at least that´s what everybody and uncle Joe from Poughkeepsie thinks...

by Yurice Thu Apr 05, 2012 6:37 am

I'm not sold on Kaleb being the Ghost. It's just a feeling too, the Ghost came off as someone on the verge of cracking, i.e sliding into insanity, while Kaleb sounds very collected. Just a hunch. >_<

by **Patricia** Thu Apr 05, 2012 9:49 am

Someone said that Nalini said that after book 15 the series is.. wait for it.. finished.

I will now kill myself. Ladies, 'twas nice knowing you.

by TheFLuff Thu Apr 05, 2012 11:49 am

She said something of there being around 4 books, until the story arc is finished.. after that, she wants to write the minor chars.. like foreign packs (hawks anyone?)
