Left, Right and Centaur

[Copperfox]

I have two Christian friends who are alike in spirit. Each man is aware of the other's existence, but they have never met each other. John Burkitt, known here as Evening Star, is praiseworthy for his ministry with Trail Life USA, and has authored fiction here on Dancing Lawn. Rob Rice, not known here, is praiseworthy for maintaining a Christian testimony here in Colorado.

Rob is an authority on history, specializing in military lore. A friend of his whom I've never met shares the taste for history-- and, remarkably, flavors this with a narrowly specific fascination for mythology. Very narrow, in fact: the fascination is with CENTAURS. Accordingly, Rob wrote several fantasy novels, about a parallel Earth in which centaurs casually interact with humans. One of these books is titled "Most Secret."

If Rob can be persuaded to join Dancing Lawn, I will urge him to post writings of his own. It will be up to him to decide whether anything he shares with us involves the six-limbed demihumans.

Demihumans? We look at you as demicentaurs! But hnau are hnau, after all.

Not to be a neigh-sayer, but can a centaur ride in a horseless carriage? ;-)

For those who have only read the Chronicles and not the Space Trilogy, "H'NAU" is Malacandran {Martian} for "sapient beings."

Thinking back to the live action LWW: the gallant centaur Oreius was the best non-book character ever seen in the movies.
