281.0. "Foster's Spellsinger" by ERIE::ASANKAR () Sun Nov 10 1985 20:08

	
	Hello- I'm back.

	After a long hard first term in school (sophmore) I have finally 
	found time to try to dig up this file. NOW. I don't know how I 
	got here, only that yes, I am here. So would someone send me a
	bit of mail on how exactly I did get on here and how I should get 
	back. 

	question (jerry) SPELLSINGER by Alan Dean Foster, ends with no ending
	there just HAS to be a sequel out there. Not that the book is incredibly	good, just that I want to find out how it ends.

	Spellsinger has 2 sequels (so far)---both basically battles against the Plated Folk. Unfortunately I can't recall the titles offhand (maybe I'll remember to check tonight). I don't think either are better than the first, but neither are worse. Not fantastic, but entertaining and amusing... at least so far, Foster's doing better at light fantasy than Anthony (Xanth). By the way, welcome back... /dave

	THE SEQUELS TO SPELLSINGER ARE "HOUR OF THE GATE" AND "DAY OF DISSCONCE" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I THINK THERE MIGHT BE AN OTHER BOOK TOO. THERE IS NO LIGHT FANTASY BETTER THAN THE XANTH BOOKS, BUT ROBERT ASPRIN'S "MYTH ADVENTURES" COME CLOSE. sa

	RE .1 -- If Sam doesn't know how he got into the file, how's he going to get back into it to see your reply telling him to send you mail asking how to get to the file? :-) -- Nina

	As .3 said, the second and third books are HOUR OF THE GATE and THE DAY OF DISSONANCE. The reason that SPELLSINGER ends without ending isn't so much that there are sequels, but that SPELLSINGER and HOUR OF THE GATE are actually two halves of one book that was originally published by a small press as SPELLSINGER AT THE GATE. There is a fourth book, MOMENT OF THE MAGICIAN that has yet to appear in paperback, and there is a fifth one due from the same small press (Phantasia Press) that did the hardcover of the other books. I don't recall the title off-hand, but I can look it up when I get home. I have a flyer for it somewhere. --- jerry

	RE: .4 Gotcha covered there Nina.. I sent him mail.. At least his Dad would be able to give it to him.. So there! :-) :-) :-) (Still haven't heard from him though..) mike

	Was thinking about you the day before you created your note. Being a relative newcomer to this file, I have been reading old notes when I get the chance. Read the Destroyer note; if you have become/are still hooked I have acquired a few titles (#s 4, 17, & 34). They are a little dog-eared, but have covers & are readable: in good condition for their age. If you want 'em, tell me where to send 'em (I O M, of course). Don P.S. If Sam says "Thanks, but no thanks", first come, first serve ....

	By the way, the title of the newest Spellsinger book (only in limited edition hardcover at this point) is THE PATHS OF THE PERAMBULATOR. --- jerry
