From archive (archive) Subject: Author Lists: Robert Asprin & Lynn Abbey From: JWenn.ESAE@XEROX.COM Date: 14 Dec 89 08:30:22 GMT With the *last* "Thieves World" anthology just published (it must be the conclusion, it says so on the cover), I thought I'ld do Robert Asprin & Lynn Abbey. Personally I found the first few Thieves World books interesting, but I lost interest after #4. Now individually, both authors have written good stuff. I like the Myth Adventure series. Be warned that you must enjoy puns of the lowest order to really appreciate these books. A quick reading of the titles would convince you of that. In the first book, I also like the quotes at the beginning of each chapter (e.g., [approxiamtely] "Travel is a great way of seeing new places and meeting interesting people" - A. the Hun). Like most series, the best are the first books, but I still like the later ones. And I rather enjoyed Lynn Abbey's "Daughter of the Bright Moon" novel. Interested people should also check out various related comic books. Ones I know are a Thieves World, a Myth Adventures series, and two Duncan & Mallory books. [A] == Anthology. (A bunch of stories written by other people) [O] == Omnibus.
