I've read a couple of Elizabeth Scarborough's light fantasies (I think 
they were Song of Sorcery & The Unicorn Creed) and frankly I thought 
they sucked.  Her two serious fantasies, however, I really enjoyed.  
The Healer's War is the story of a Vietnam nurse.  The tone is much 
darker, and the characterization is much richer than her previous 
novels.  The novel is at least partially auto-biographical, since 
Elizabeth Scarborough *was* a nurse in Vietnam.  Nothing Sacred 
continues in this vein, being the story of American soldiers in the 
21st century captured in Tibet and kept in a mysterious prisoner of war 
camp.  A sequel is promised for Nothing Sacred.  Given how that novel 
ends, it will be interesting to see the direction the next novel takes.

[O] == Omnibus.  Includes other books.
