I have usually enjoyed Chalker, but I'm afraid that he is moving a
bit too much toward the "Book Five of the FOOBAR Trilogy*" syndrome for
my tastes.  When he confines himself to a single book, he is at his best, 
but his recent multi-volume works left me a bit cold.  Some books are 
just so full of ideas that they beg to be stretched.  Chalker's books
have some really interesting concepts, but wading through the packing
material to get at them is something I can live without.  --Tom


* Yes, I know the meaning of the word 'Trilogy', so no flaming mail, please.
This is not a typo, as anyone who has ever read Farmer's Riverworld 'Trilogy' 
will understand.
