"Magician" by Raymond Feist(sp?) is taken from his game world Midkemia.
All 600+ pages of it, with sequels to come.  The writing is pretty good
and the action well paced, though unoriginal.

The book is dedicated to, among others, "the Friday Nighters" whom I assume
to be his players; among these is one David Brin (yup, THAT David Brin; the
jacket blurb says the author lives in San Diego).  Brin also makes a cameo
appearance as a horse trader.
