5.0 out of 5 stars Why is this out of print??!!, Oct 7 2009

The characters and plot are equally thoughtful, complex, sensible, and very realistic. I have read the entire Gandalara series so many times and I will never tire of them. These books should not be out of print. I have read a lot of SciFi and Fantasy genre, but this series is still THE best, period! This is the type of book that gives you separation anxiety when you finish the last paragraph. I really can't say enough.

I'm one of the lucky few to have the whole (well-worn) series on my bookshelf.

This review is from: GANDALARA CYCLE #1 (Mass Market Paperback)

These books depict a journey both physical and spiritual. The hero, Rikardon, and his partner Tarani make many discoveries about themselves and the world they inhabit. Many of the discoveries are a surprise and I won't give them away.

Suffice to say this series is very well written with well fleshed out characters (both human and non), a good historical background woven into the story, and a fast paced and detailed storyline which makes the book(s) hard to put down. They should not be out of print.

readerrocker "bookworm & an old-time rock n r... (Wine Country, Northern California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: GANDALARA CYCLE #1 (Mass Market Paperback)

My husband and i, always avid scifi readers, devoured all seven of these books in the early 1980's. At that time, these books .. this story .. were among the most satisfying i had ever read (that august catagory includes the likes of Tolkien's stuff, the Dune books, etc). We moved recently and in the process of readying ourselves for that upheaval, we went through the bookcases and tossed books we'll never open again (gasp! heresy! ). During that process, however, i came across these books and sank to the carpet, caught immediately. Now i'm fully immersed in this world again and lost in this great story.

I can't believe they're out of print. That's just wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely perplexing...A book that really makes you wonder.
A exceptionally well written book dealing with the ever befuddling question of "where do we come from?" Or better yet, "What happens if..?". Read more
