[net.sf-lovers] Yet Another Xanth Book By Piers Anthony

aark (11/04/82)

	Are there any other Piers Anthony fans out there?  Come on, out
of the woodwork!  There's been far too much discussion here lately
of those has-beens, I. Asimov and A. C. Clarke.

	I happened to be near a bookstore last night, stopped in, and
found yet another Xanth novel by Piers Anthony.  Now there are five:

	A Spell For Chameleon
	Castle Roogna
	The Source of Magic
	Centaur Aisle
	Ogre, Ogre (the latest!)

So far, "Ogre, Ogre" is as good and punny as the others.

	I also inquired as to when the third novel in the Proton/Phaze series
will be out in paperback, and they said not until spring.  I know it's
been published, since the Science Fiction Book Club has offered it.
The books in this series are:

	Split Infinity
	Blue Adept
	Juxtaposition

	Stop by and buy "Ogre, Ogre," so Piers will get lots of royalties, so
he'll keep on writing Xanth books!

	While I am not a real fan of the Xanth books (I
find that they read like a first draft), I do have some
info on them fans might want to know. There are two more
Xanth books due out
	Night Mare
and one he won't release the title of, because he claims 
it is too bad a pun.
