oops... my bad...
I meant a book that could be interpreted as being a modern sequel to LotR whilst retaining the essential 2"feel" of the Tolkien Reality.
CoN and lotR do share a common spirit.. so much so that I could create a pseudo-heresy.. essentially a fan-fic-ish form that could link the two.. (indeed I half play with that idea in my unwritted "pseudo-epic" but 'nuf said on that)
