    Hi noble Denizens of sf.written,


    The Future Falls by Tanya Huff.

    Found at the SFPL-Main last week.
    This is a story set in the Universe where the
    Gale Family exists and they are the descendants
    of the mating of a God with the female progenitor
    of the Family. They have rituals to celebrate and
    raise power. So they are demi/semi Powers and
    various abilities including domination of the
    children by their Aunts. Some of the children
    are Wild Powers and this is about one Charlotte
    Gale and her lover to be, Jack the Dragon Prince
    Jack is both a Gale and Dragon which is very
    rare.
    We have other Wild Powers, one of which
    is foreseeing, the province of Aunt Catherine.
    We have is a telepathic human driven to madness
    by the cacophony of human thought. He is saying
    the Sky is falling and it is heavy.
    Some investigation by Charlotte uncovers the
    fact that an unknown asteroid is going to hit the
    Earth in 22 months.
    I enjoyed this story very much especially the ending.
    It is 336 pages, hardcover, originally sold at $24.95
    from DAW.

    bliss - inescapable fantasy

    Does anyone know of a short story or novelette where
    the Gales family featured? Because I know I encountered
    them before and reading the preceding volumes by Huff
    about the Gales Enchantement Emporiium and the Wild
    Ways tells me that I read neither of them earlier.
    "Is a puzzlement..."

    bliss - who will later mention the whole 3 book series
    again. None of the Gales are named Dorothy by the way...
