Sometimes Frank Herbert thinks of wonderful inspired names, and sometimes it's like... One of the key characters of my book is named Leto. His murdered baby grandson is also named Leto. The key character of the following books is also named Leto. One of the main characters in the 4th books is Siona. One of the main characters in the 5th book is... Sheeana.

Each time the two clock hands met, the male appeared to enter the female.
