Hooray!  Someone else who has read "Silverlock"!   I knew there had to be
a few out there.  I think that Myers is far superior in writing style,
characterization, and sheer reading enjoyment than Tolkien or any of
his imitators.  I fell in love with "Silverlock" when I first read it
about fifteen years ago, and was overjoyed to see it reissued
recently.  I was also happy to see two more of Myer's books become
available: "The Moon's Fire Eating Daughter", and "The Harp and the
Blade."  The first is (approximately) a sequel to "Silverlock," and the
second is a historical novel set in the late Dark Ages.  They are
each, in different ways, as enjoyable as "Silverlock."

Does anyone out there know where to get any of Myers' other books?
According to what I have heard he wrote forty or fifty books in his
life, of which I have seen only the three I mentioned.  Surely someone
(Ace Books, I suppose) has plans to re-publish more of them?
