Ok im after a book, a name and author actually, here is all I know

F - - - (something i cant remember) cerberus (I think thats how you say it)

The author was something banks

My teacher read a story i did (its on the site here under my name Josh Malthouse) and he thinks I copied it or something, so i wanna look for this book and read it so i can see what a big coincodence this is

There's a book called the Fifth head of Cerberus, but it's by Gene Wolfe. Only thing I can think of at the moment!

[Ingram]

um does it have a thief in it who steals stuff for a merchant?

[Shadowen]

hmmm - iirc it's sci-fi, so probably not. Just picked it up and randomly flicked through it quita a while back. Sorry! http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/frown.gif

Thanks for trying, maybe I should get him to write it down tomorrow, Im seriously interested in finding this book now, I have to proove to everyone I wrote it myself, maybe writing more and introducing the idea's i had would proove it.

Well, F--- Cerberus could be The Fifth Head of Cerberus by Gene Wolfe but Banks might Iain Banks author of Feersum Endjinn, Consider Phlebas etc.

[Ingram]

any of those books simular or have bits like my story?

[Vitriol]

Well, I had a quick look.

The name 'Drizzt' obviously rings bells of Forgotten Realms, but in terms of content and style it seems more like Fritz Leiber or Robert Howard.

Iain Banks writes either sci-fi or an odd sort of life/horror; I've read almost all of his books and am fairly sure that there's nothing like your story in any of them. Plus, he has a very recognisable style.

It doesn't remind me of a specific thing in anything I've read, so I'm afraid I can't help.

Anyone else who wants a look, the story is at http://www.sffworld.com/authors/m/malthouse_josh/fiction/thiefofprophecy1.html
It's fairly short; check it out and see if it rings any bells.

I fail to see what resemblance those two pages could have to FIFTH HEAD OF CERBERUS.

Err could I have the story removed, im going to put up my new version instead witch is better, longer and well its longer :P
