  I've heard that most people out the don't really care for the works of 
Jack Chalker, but in my opinion he's written so very good works.  His 
latest series "________ of the Dancing Gods" I believe are some of better
works in SF out today. 
  The Dancing god series are relatively new.  The first book "The River
of the Dancing Gods", published Feb. '84, was very entertaining and left
the reader waiting for the second of a three part series.  The premise of
the books is that there is a planet that when God created Earth this planet
was created also.  The only thing is that this planet wasn't governed by
the strict set of rules that God made for Earth, magic works here, there
are wizards and magical creatures, all governed by their own set of rules.
  Now take two normal run out of luck americans, headed for disaster,
their own deaths, and transport them to this world to fight for Good.
Good in this cases is saving the earth from Armageddon.
  Chalker weaves a tale that rivals some of the best fantasy books around
and still leaves room for humor and great adventure.
  The second book, "Demons of the Dancing Gods", Jun. '84, picks up where
the first book stops and carries our hero and herione on to further adventures.
  I was very entertained by the books and made for some very good light 
reading, with lots of adventure.
