==== < FOR THE LINE EATER > ==== As an old Piers addict, I note that no-one has mentioned his 'cave' books, "CTHON" and "PTHOR", nor "HASSAN", an attempt to emulate the style of "The Arabian Nights." I also agree that his earlier work was much better; we weren't required to repeatedly share the slow and delayed adolescence of some feeble-minded person going through thier pimply period in public. "SOS THE ROPE", origionaly serialized in F&SF, won him his first hugo, and I gree that he hasn't done anything to match "MACROSCOPE." One keeps hoping, though. -C.Thomas Weinbaum von Waldenhal
