Hooray! Someone else who has read "Silverlock"! I knew there had to be a few out there. I think that Myers is far superior in writing style, characterization, and sheer reading enjoyment than Tolkien or any of his imitators. I fell in love with "Silverlock" when I first read it about fifteen years ago, and was overjoyed to see it reissued recently. I was also happy to see two more of Myer's books become available: "The Moon's Fire Eating Daughter", and "The Harp and the Blade." The first is (approximately) a sequel to "Silverlock," and the second is a historical novel set in the late Dark Ages. They are each, in different ways, as enjoyable as "Silverlock." Does anyone out there know where to get any of Myers' other books? According to what I have heard he wrote forty or fifty books in his life, of which I have seen only the three I mentioned. Surely someone (Ace Books, I suppose) has plans to re-publish more of them? Bruce Cohen UUCP: ...!teklabs!tekecs!brucec CSNET: tekecs!brucec@tektronix ARPA: tekecs!brucec.tektronix@rand-relay

I love Silverlock, but detested The Moon's Fire Eating Daughter. Sorry. Read Silverlock if you get a chance. I have a feeling that most of Myer's 30 - 40 books were "mainstream" literature. StarBlaze has at least the MFED ...

After reading Silverlock a couple of years ago, I dug around in the UW library looking to see what else he'd done. The only other books which I remember clearly were volumes dealing with the old West (scholarly works).
