[QB]Growltigga, have you checked out Baen.com, it gives preview of the lst 10 chapters of the book, good reading. I agree some books become dry or go to far outbound from where they began, one such was the GOR series, lst number of books were ok but then went down hill to where I quit reading them. Another good series is the Lost Regiment by Fourchan (not sure on spelling).
Mac, I checked out the Baen site, damn good reading and a nice way to while away a few hours in the office one afternoon but Baen are cruel to taunt fans like this with only half the story!! by chapter 10, I was getting anxious to work out how the Star Empire turns the tide
Messrs Weber and White are class. The Honor Harrington books by David Weber are damn fine reads I think. Altho' I love the Starfire books, I do find myself occassionally stopping half way through and turning to Terry Pratchett as the starfire story has just got a bit depressing
You are so right about the Gor books - I still pick up Tribesmen of Gor every now and then and read it - fantastic fantasy story - imaginative and fast flowing - after about book 12, John Norman seemed to get more obsessed about enslaving girls - obviously got carried away!!
