Hi, I've not been on in ages and notice a fall off in posts, any reason for
this? 
Anyway back to the point, I'm interested in getting a full set of
Julian May's publications so far (except for the dreaded Black Trillium
and probably the followup Blood Trillium) in hardback for my Dad as a
retirement gift next Spring. I managed to get a copy of Jack the Bodiless from
the college library, I just finished it and loved it and he is now ploughing
through it. It was just as he began it that he stated his desire for a full set
of her work. I've never seen any of her stuff in hardback in the mainstream
bookshops here (Dublin, Ireland) they just get the paperbacks, and not even all
of them at that!
So, can anybody tell me if there are any anthologies of her work yet or "sets"
published. I realise the Galactic Milieu trilogy has just begun but I thought
maybe the Saga of the Exiles + Intervention + the Pliocene companion might be
available together. Anybody got news on this.
Any sign of Diamond Mask yet?

	From the short list of works, I'd say there is a lot of

Children of Tomorrow  
Computerworld   
Earth Factor X

The Battle of Forever  
The Beast      
The Book of Van Vogt   
The Changeling  
The Darkness on Diamondia       
The Far-Out Worlds of A. E. Van Vogt    
The House that Stood Still      
The Man With a Thousand Names   
The Mind Cage   
The Pawns of Null-A          
The Players of Null-A

The War Against the Rull       
The Weapon Makers       
The Weapon Shops of Isher       
The Wizard of Linn      
The World of Null-A     
The Worlds of A. E. Van Vogt          
Two Hundred Million A.D. <aka Book of Ptath>    
Tyranopolis     
Voyage of the Space Beagle    

and collaborations with his wife...
Van Vogt, A. E. & Hull, E. Mayne  
     
Out of the Unknown    
Planets for Sale     
The Winged Man  

	Then there's non-SF, like _The Violent Man_, but this list should
get any collector started... His best, to my mind, were the _Voyage
of the Space Beagle_, which is a clear precursor to Star Trek, 
and the Weapon Shop books.  The Null-A things are heavily
influenced by Korzybski's _Science and Sanity_, but I found 
the 'logic' aspect confusing (or perhaps confused?) and Korzybski's
book was scarcely less so.  Your mileage may vary. 

	The short stories (mostly labeled '<ss>' above)
are often quite good; the better stories have been fused together
to make novels (with uneven results), and this accounts
for the worst of the offerings.

There are a variety of versions of this story.  It is bound up in the
story of Parserval and the Grail, however.  Seems that when P started
his wanderings he came to the Grail castle,. was treated to a banquet,
etc. and the Fisher King was the ruler of the castle.  He was carried
in with a wound in his thigh which would not heal, and because of this
the land was dying.  Parsival was suppose to "ask the right question",
which would result in the Fisher King's cure.  Being young and innocent
and particularly unaware, however, he muffed it and had to spend years
wandering in the wilderness before finding his way back to the Grail
castle and setting things right.

To this list I would add Connie Willis's DOOMSDAY BOOK, Pat Cadigan's
"No Prisoners" (from ALTERNATE KENNEDYS), and Donna Farley's "The Passing
of the Eclipse" from UNIVERSE 2.  And I know there were a couple of stories
in F&SF and ASIMOV'S that I noted as Hugo-quality, but I'll have to go
look those up.

Isam was the son of that Malkieri woman responsible (at least partly) for
it's downfall to the Shadow.  What was her name?  Began with a B...  ???

Anyways, all this business of smushing people together is all well and
good, to an extent.  I mean, it's at least feasible for Mordeth and Fain

c'mon, for crying out loud, how's Jordan going to justify merging Luc and
Isam?  If that's even the case....

Are we to believe that Luc was a darkfriend?  Or was he turned to the
Shadow after his capture in the Blight?  (Then again, if he were turned to
the Shadow against his will it would mean he could channel, and there'd be
another problem altogether to deal with...)

I agree with your assessment.  My first Schmitz novel was The Witches

Concerning _The_Stress_of_her_Regard_...

Regard is the first Powers book I've seen, or rather noticed, on the shelves,
and for months I resisted getting it.  Reasons?

1)  It's in the Fantasy section, with a cute binding, with neat day-glo orange
lettering.  When all the books in the shop are stocked by spine, well, frankly,
I wasn't enticed into even picking the book up.

2)  As I said, it was my first exposure to Powers.  I'd never heard of him.

3)  I _have_, however, heard of Terry Pratchett, who is on the shelf right next
to _Regard_.  I saw the book misfiled as one of Terry's books, glanced at it,
and filed it properly.  I wasn't looking for "someone else"...

4)  When I glanced at the cover, I saw a guy being looked at by this shimmering
serpent lady with a low cut neckline.  Looked, frankly, like an Anthony book.

5)  ...Which wasn't helped by the display right next to the shelf with umpteen
copies of Anthony's "The Color of her Panties."  Looking at the Powers book,
I wasn't sure what "her Regard" was, but the fact that it was stressed led me to
the conclusion that it must have had something to do with that bustline...

6)  The back of the book, when I finally did pick it up, mentioned Byron,
Shelley, and Keats.  Great...just what we need.  _Another_ interpretation of 
what happened that weekend when _Frankenstein_ was conceived.  Oh well, it 
couldn't possibly be as bad as "Gothic"...

So I picked it up.  And read it.  The jury's still out.  But, Good Lord,
could ACE have possibly marketed this book any more poorly?

Hmm.  Gonzo Powers fan that I am, I actually thought _On_Stranger_Tides_ his
best, with _Anubis_Gates_ second and _Drawing_Of_The Dark_ third.  _Stress_
had its moments but was nowhere near as good as the first two, in my opinion ---
but then I once described _Anubis_Gates_ in print as one of the ten best
fantasy novels of the 1980s, and I still believe that, so _Stress_ is only
inferior by a fairly exalted standard.

(For anyone who cares, BTW, my other picks included Guy Gavriel Kay's _Fionavar
_Tapestry_, Barry Hughart's _Bridge_Of_Birds_, Jack Vance's _Lyonesse_, and Anne
MacAvoy's _Tea_With_The_Black_Dragon_.)
 
I thought _Dinner_ was a failure; implausible, listless, and even <gasp>
*boring* in spots.  I trust it's a fluke and he'll stick to the historical dark
fantasy he does better than anyone in the history of the genre in future.

The author's intro to the Tor paperback reissue confirms this.  He wrote the
thing as a conscious pastiche of Rafael Sabatini.  For another and altogether
weirder expression of the same impulse, check out L. Neil Smith's
_Henry_Martyn_.

I'm about 200 articles behind, so you've probably gotten lots o replies to
this already (or maybe none at all; the net can be weird sometimes).

Anyway, there are simply too many authors to be discussing them all at once.
Lots of bandwidth goes to authors who've released books and/or stories
recently, and unless some random post about a particular author happens
to galvanize a lot of people to post, it simply gets lost in the flow.

Way back when the new "Twilight Zone" series came on, I watched the premier,
and was very impressed with the story "Shatterday", and so I went out and
read quite a bit of his work.

My impression is that he's pretty good, but likes to lean too much on the
"attitude" button (if you know what I mean).

Yes, one of my favorite Romantic poets. A contemporary of Coleridge and
Byron, and virtually ingnored by modern critics and anthologists. And
yet, in his own way, a legend.....
