Is Harry Snappdove from the Stone Dogs

[stirlingdraka]

an expy of Harry Turtledove? We know Stirling put an expy of Harry in the ISOT series as Ian Arnstein. This and the description of Snappdove in the Stone Dogs as having a "hooked nose, balding head and a brush of dark brown beard" (The Stone Dogs pg268) makes me think that the answer is yes. Though the image of the alternate Turtledove as a Draka Citizen is very creepy.

I've never thought of that before. Is his first name actually Harry?

 

[stirlingdraka]

Yes it is. He`s the son of people who were given Citizenship after the Euraisan War. It`s mentioned in the conferance after the Final War.

Yes it is. He`s the son of people who were given Citizenship after the Euraisan War. It`s mentioned in the conferance after the Final War.

I remembered his ancestry was mentioned ("Snappdove was a child of such"), but I don't remember his first name being spoken.

Eric von Shrakenberg introduced him as "Doctor Harry Snappdove" on pg 268
