Piers Anthony is a frustrating author.  Here is someone who is capable
of producing good stuff, but (on the whole) doesn't.  As you can see,
he goes series crazy.  His best work tends to be either stand alone
books (e.g. "Macroscope") or the first book of the series ("On a Pale
Horse" or "A Spell for Chameleon").  The quality of a series generally
goes down in proportion to its length.  Still, he produces the
occasional gem that means I can't completely write him off.  Argh.
