The Alton Gift

Some sites list The Alton Gift as being part of the "The Children of Kings" series. Deborah J. Ross' web site seems to put this in a series called "Modern Darkover" and has the following explanation.

After A Flame in Hali, I began work on a sequel to Traitor's Sun. Originally, this book was to be titled, The Children of Kings. It rapidly became apparent that there were far too many story elements to be contained in a single volume. So, there will be three new books set in "modern" Darkover, each one a "stand-alone."
  • The Alton Gift - The first of the three new books set in "modern" Darkover.
  • The second book, which will most likely be titled, The Children of Kings.
  • Ross describes the third book but did not list what its title will be.
