A mysterious stranger appeared in the corner of the last episode, and shouted an imprecation to our trio.

But now the trio swells to a quartet ( just like Mozart intended in THE BARBER OF SEVILLE), and the concealed personage is revealed.

Bifourkos Panadides, brilliant inventor, linguist, hermeneutical exegete and Olympic pole vaulter ( he was only a silver medalist in the hammer throw so that should be omitted . . .) and generally trustworthy ex-grad student of Herman Utix, has materialized to get our heroes out of a scrape, and rescue their pal too.

A THREAT FROM THE SKIES!

As Biff unfolds the details of his marvelous craft, "The Claw", Tengron and Brynuss, who along with Yazoo and Pornak comprise part of the gang who serve The Holy One, Shurhava ben Haydn, spot the remarkable airship from the helicopter.

Their first thought is destruction-- the crooked path of all Errorists.


Errorists, as we know, never think of a "faith-based stable democracy" with SUVs and hotdogs for all, but only of an ascetic society where men cannot wear leopard briefs and use viagra-- and women are deprived of the freedom to vote and wear gold lamay pedal-pushers . . .

I'm loving this series. For some reason I can't always post, but want you to know I'm reading along.

Thanks SH and StillTruckin', for your comments. They mean a lot and make me motived to push the series forward.

There are more than 1500 hits ( views) here, but relatively few comments. You both know how artists thrive on praise-- or even boos.

Merry Christmas to the two of you.
