Finishing a trilogy – it turns out – is a more protracted affair than you’d imagine. For quite some time now, I’ve been trying to get Ringil and company out of my head, in order to clear the decks for some straight up SF, but they’re not taking the eviction well. Had a dream about the Gil the other night, something to do with dog-food, make sense of that if you can. And a few days ago, I heard this on some nameless local radio station out in the wilds of Andalucia, and was surprised to find how well it suited one of the principal characters. So I backed up through my dodgy vinyl hard rock collection (so near as I can recall it at a distance), and sure enough I managed to find a match for the other two as well.
Bonus points for matching protagonist to track (note – some space for ambiguity and overlap here, but in my mind at least, it’s clear).
Right. Maybe they’ll leave me alone now, and fade out like heroes of legend should…..
