The only James Kahn I've read is the "New World" trilogy.  The first
novel is a very good novel set in a unique future.  It contains all
manner of  fantasy creatures: vampires, centaurs, griffins, dragons,
hobbits, giant butterflies and other myths and legends, but the story
is Science Fiction (not Fantasy).  I'll leave out the rationale to
avoid spoilers.  The story concerns the quest of a human scribe and a
centaur trying to find their kidnapped family.  The second book is a
continuation of the first.  When I first heard their was going to be a
third one, I said "no way".  The end of the second leaves absolutely no
room for a standard sequel.  And _Time Fall_ is not a standard sequel.
It continues the story and has several of the same characters
(sort-of), but in a weird way.  Still, I think the entire trilogy is
worth reading.

[O] == Omnibus.  Includes other books.
