Actually, _Dinner_At_Deviant's_Palace_ is more like his fourth or possibly
even fifth book. The titles I know of are _Epitaph_In_Rust_ (a Laser book
(remember them?) set in a future Los Angeles similar to, but with
significant differences from, the one in DaDP), _The_Drawing_Of_The_Dark_
(similar to and close in quality to _The_Anubis_Gates_),
and then of course _The_Anubis_Gates_ and DaDP. There may be one other
Laser book; I can't now recall.
