: Dom Writes...
: " I'm just finishing up my first re-reading of the Demon Princes novels since finishing "The Book of Dreams" 15 or so years ago,
: : and getting so close to the finish of this wonderful series (I'm at Howard Hardoah's School reunion) has me a little melancholy. I wish there were more. Wouldn't a prequel to the series be great...."
: I've got to disagree with your prequel idea. SF and fantasy is rife at the present time with series works. Also sequel series to series. Prequel series to series works.... aghhhhh!!... enough already.
I agree. Unlike most authors, Vance has a large assortment of interesting characters and worlds. As much as I would like to see new books from all my favorite series, I even more want to meet new hero's and see new worlds. E.C. Tubb's Dumerest is a good example of a 3 or 4 book series that went on about 20 books too long. Tho must say I read and enjoyed just about every one of them. Not what I would want from Vance tho.
