Here is someone who is capable of producing good stuff, but (on the whole) doesn't. As you can see, he goes series crazy. His best work tends to be either stand alone books (e.g. "Macroscope") or the first book of the series ("On a Pale Horse" or "A Spell for Chameleon"). The quality of a series generally goes down in proportion to its length. Still, he produces the occasional gem that means I can't completely write him off. Argh. [C] == Short Story Collection. [NSF] == Not SF [O] == Omnibus. Includes other books. aka == Also known by this other title. /John arpa: JWenn.ESAE@Xerox.com everyspermissacred-ly ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jacob, Piers Anthony Dillingham [,B.A.] [U.K., U.S.A., 06/08/1934- ] [as Piers Anthony] The Aton Series: Chthon [1967] Phthor [1975] The Battle Circle Trilogy [1978] [O] Sos the Rope [1968] Var the Stick [1972] Neq the Sword [1975] Of Man and Manta [1986] [O] Omnivore [1968] Orn [1970] Ox [1976] The Cluster Series: Cluster [1977] [aka "Vicinty Cluster"] Chaining the Lady [1978] Kirlian Quest [1978] Thousandstar [1980] Viscous Circle [1982] The Xanth Series: The Magic of Xanth [1981] [O] A Spell for Chameleon [1977] The Source of Magic [1979] Castle Roogna [1979] Centaur Isle [1982] Ogre, Ogre [1982] Night Mare [1983] Dragon on a Pedestal [1983] Crewel Lye [1984] Golem in the Gears [1986] Vale of the Vole [1987] Heaven Cent [1988] Tarot [1987] [O] God of Tarot [1979] Vision of Tarot [1980] Faith of Tarot [1980] The Apprentice Adept Series: Double Exposure [1982] [O] Split Infinity [1980] Blue Adept [1981] Juxtaposition [1982] Out of Phaze [1987] Robot Adept [1988] Unicorn Point [1989] The Biography of a Space Tyrant Series: Refugee [1983] Mercenary [1984] Politician [1985] Executive [1985] Statesman [1986] The Incarnations of Immortality Series: On a Pale Horse [1983] Bearing an Hourglass [1984] With a Tangled Skein [1985] Wielding a Red Sword [1986] Being a Green Mother [1987] For Love of Evil [1988] Macroscope [1969] Prostho Plus [1973] Race Against Time [1973] Rings of Ice [1974] Triple Detente [1974] Steppe [1976] Hasan [1977] Mute [1981] Anthonology [1985] [C] Shade of the Tree [1986] Ghost [1986] Bio of an Ogre [1988] [Autobiography] Anthony, Piers & Coulson, Robert [Stratton] "Buck" But What of Earth?
