I asked you a while ago if Illyan was modeled after Illya Kuryakin. Your answer was that Illya was definitely an inspiration for the character. Since I would say this makes you a fan of Man from U.N.C.L.E., I was wondering if you saw the movie and, if so, what you thought of it? BTW, I love Illyan. Wonder why?

Which movie? I saw a made-for-TV remake with the original cast some years back, which wasn't all bad. If there is a new remake, I haven't seen it yet.
Also, not 14 now, which makes a difference. Dear God, has it been fifty years...?
A huge number of people of my generation were fans of that show; not least, I suppose, because there were far fewer choices of things to watch back then, which tended to concentrate and enlarge the audiences.

Lois, what is your personal favorite cover of all your books' covers, and why? Maybe you might demur on the question out of fear of inadvertently disparaging some artist or another, but it doesn't have to be the cover with the best art per se, but simply your own personal favorite for what might be a sentimental or personal reason?

A question about the Five Gods world: I would assume that each soul is taken up by one God and one God alone. Has there ever been a case of a soul being given special honors by more than one God? I can think of a man who once bore the miracles for two different Gods, and was the cause of a restoration of something significant to a third. I can picture those funerary rights as being far from the norm.

I'm a Kobo ereader user. (As an overseas librarian, I dislike Kindle's proprietary attitude, and avoid them.) I noticed only a few of your books were available in the Kobo store. I remember years ago there was an independent site that had many of your ebooks, but I'm not sure they're still working. Is there a chance that Spirit Ring and the Baen books would be available in non-Kindle epub format sometime soon?
