Nice find Kevin, I could definitely use something like this!

Darkon

Red bellows of flame have blackened my stones
Convulsing my frame and cracking my bones
Hell's dragons of steel who roar in their chains
Crawl into my caves to suck out my veins.....

books, books everywhere

Check out my post in the MEL scripting board for a discussion of how the two books differ. Since both are from the same publisher, they're not really intended to be an either-or proposition. :-)
