- I haven't read the "Chronicles", since I already have about 2/3 of it
- (Healer and a short precursor to that novel). However, I can heartily
- second Michael's endorsement of F. Paul Wilson's SF - a very good
- read. There is a little bit of a political message, but it's never
- allowed to get in the way of the story.
-
- Some of his non-SF stuff is perhaps less inspiring, though.
