[edit] Background

I've seen it mentioned before that Creatures of Light and Darkness is a roman &agrave clef, but I've never heard any specific details. Does anyone here know more about how the novel corresponds to the Social Security Administration? Factitious 08:42, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC)

I agree. I've put in a request for a source. If nothing appears within a few weeks I'll remove it, move it to 'discussion'. --GwydionM 19:59, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I just deleted the claim. The only source I could find for it was a Usenet post from three years ago, and it's pure speculation. -- Avram 04:20, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good and evil

The article states that the good characters are truly good. Where does Madrak fit in? At the beginning, he appears good, but it turns out that he is in reality as self-serving as, for example, Anubis. Varn ix 13:51, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Again, I agree. None of them are entirely good - the better side are often cruel and sometimes selfish. --GwydionM 20:00, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Typhon and black holes

I removed the comment "Typhon bears a grudge against Anubis." As I recall, Typhon is coldly suspicious, and is actually quite right. He also refuses to act without proof. --GwydionM 19:54, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reprint

A new edition was promised for the start of 2007. Amazon no longer show it. Does anyone know more? --GwydionM 12:27, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I removed the broken Amazon link.--GwydionM 12:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
