Have you ever read the GEODYSSEY Series by Piers Anthony?
Titles are as follows if you haven't:
Isle of Woman
Shame of Man
Hope of Earth
Muse of Art

There is one more, but on his website it says it's unfinished as yet. Title is Climate of Change.

I loved the first four books, absolutely fantastic.

If you have read them, then this post is moot! :)

Yeppers... I've read them! I also love the "Route" series, the "Incarnations of Imortality" and the ones that had the guy named Blue? I haven't really gotten into his Sci-Fi Series though.. the ones that are all about this one guy and his journey from military private to commander and whatnot. The guy is one prolific author, that's for sure!

You know, I've never read anything by Dean Koontz. Time for a trip to the library.

I generally like most Koontz books, he can write great characters, and I like both his scientific thrillers and the more supernatural ones. I have read a large number of his novels, and haven't been truly disappointed yet.

I should also get back into John Saul and Peter Straub, also excellent horror/suspense/supernatural writers, that I used to read. :)
