Quote:It was released as In Fury Born and includes the back story of DeVries in the Cadre up to the incident on Shallingsport.
About fifteen years ago, David Weber wrote a book titled Path of the Fury (recently revised and republished under a different title which I can't at the moment recall).
Quote:I had not heard of Eumenides before, but a quick search of the lyrics makes me believe that Lackey had to have based the song on the book. As you said, and I agree, the song and the story have essentially the same plot.
The song and the book have an essentially identical plot -- but neither writer has, so far as I know, given the other any credit for inspiration. I suppose it's possible that each came up with the idea independently -- but....
edit: Fixed my though error; originally swapped book and song ^_^
