You might remember seeing a BBC television series based on the books. Here are the opening credits from that show:
Well, anyway, either I never uploaded the WorldFAQ to Xenite.Org or else it was lost during one of several server crises. So while updating the network this week I discovered an old copy of the WorldFAQ and I have published it to Xenite.Org.
John Christopher's Tripods is a nice read. It's classic science fiction without all the schlocky cliches that have become common and it lacks the pseudo-grittiness that plagues most current science fiction stories.
Check out the FAQ and if you can find the books, get them.
And while I'm talking about the most massive update to Xenite in years, I should mention that we've also updated our Xena: Warrior Princess Directory (Xena Online Resources). The link submissions queue had not been checked in a long time but it's now been caught up. The site still lists many GeoCities pages. Removing or updating those links will have to wait for another time.
We also shut down the old Hercules and Xena Banner Network. It had stopped working two years ago and I concluded that anyone still trying to connect to the banner server was probably not updating their site. So instead of fixing the problem I decided to just retire the service. If you've been hoping it will come back, I'm sorry.
Finally, we also just updated our Edgar Rice Burroughs fan site. Other sections of Xenite have been updated as well. Too many to mention here.
