As David said last month, there are any number of Platinum Amulets, this one just protects against extreme heat.I'm with Ingo on this one. I prefer Kazan-Oud Platinum Amulet or Platinum Amulet of Kazan-Oud. If forced to pick one over the other, I'd pick the first.
Kazan-Oud Platinum Amulet it is, then!I'll be slowly uploading the latest versions of Books 1-11 over this morning/afternoon. I'm really chuffed that Books 1-9 currently have 0--that's a BIG FAT ZERO--open issues against them! :-)
This past 12 months, even after re-releasing Books 1-7, we've had more helpful and useful reports of potential issues on the first 12 books than in the previous two years! Consider the elegant way we now handle the broken link in the Maaken Mines, the conclusion to the on to/onto saga, the footnoted inconsistencies of the Platinum Amulet/Nexus use, and plenty of other things besides. These fixes aren't exactly "showstoppers" by any means, but it's really good to be able to remove these errors from the books (some of which we caused ourselves . . . ;-) ) and make the books as good as they can be. Until someone else spots something else we've missed, of course.
I finally found some free time (and some better health) yesterday, so I went through the lists removing proposals of Drakkarim -> Drakkar where used as an adjective, since we've decided both are acceptable. The errata lists for Books 12, 14, 15, and 17 now look *much* more manageable. I also removed all Liganim -> Ligan proposals, since Jon points out on the PAMoS that it is always pluralised in the books--the singular form never occurs. That added up to about 70 or 80 issues marked as Rejected, brining the number of proposed changes for the Lone Wolf series down below 600 for the first time (I'm not joking!) to about 570ish. The majority of these, and no doubt many others that have not yet been reported, should hopefully be addressed this coming year in Books 19-28, as well as any that can be applied to previous books as well. :-D
So to end, I'd like to say I think we should all feel quite proud of ourselves for making so much progress. Well done to us! Now let's keep it up for the next twelve months and really blow the minds of the reading public! :-D
