<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I didn't mean to misrepresent your theory about
neighbour-hybridisation, I was just mentioning ot in passing. I think
James's theory could be described as a cross between possession and a sort
of psychic hybridisation. But I must re-read the books anyway before I get
too deep into the mystery of who exactly Silk/Horn is at any time, though I lean
to the belief that he is all human.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>With regard to the star, the main point is that -
at least according to Silk/Horn - you can see it as a dim red point in the
night sky of Blue. Therefore (if he is telling the truth) it is not the
sun of Green and Blue, but a far distant star.</FONT></DIV>

already travelled down the Gyoll on the river boat to see monster
Scylla. They are going back again to find human Scylla's
grave.</FONT></DIV>

<TD vAlign=top>Gerry, I am only going to include the parts of the quote
I find especially interesting. Yes, it is far away, But is
that distance in time? Why is this whorl called ancient, and this
city old? Sure it is far away, but I think that is not necessarily
evidence that he can really see it in anything but his mind, but yes,
you are right, I can't find a mechanism that satisfactorily explains why
they would arrive at that particular time. I don't think the
neighbors possess horn at all. I think they hybridize with him to
make Neighbor Horn.<BR><BR>--- On <B>Thu, 12/23/10, Gerry Quinn

<DIV>"Soon it will be evening," he said. "If we still haven't gone,
we'll go up onto the roof of this house. Standing on the tiles I will
point and you will peer until at last you see a certain dim red star.
It's a long, long way from here. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"There is a whorl circling that star, AN ANCIENT WHORL. On
that whorl, Juganu, there is an OLD CITY YOU HAVE SEEN, and
through it a river. Its waters are turbid and foul, and seem scarcely
to move. You know that river; YOU HAVE SAILED ON IT.
