    //Hello All,//


    I was Piers Anthony when he switched from hard SCIFY to Fantasy.

    It was a bit for a let down for me.

    Then I had sift through the Science Fiction books to actually get SCIFI.

    Now Fantasy books have thier own section.

    Now I am happy again, took 25 years of so.


    Regards,

    He wrote very good hard science fiction, that is why I was sorry he went to Fantasy.

    I'm looking at some of his back catalog pre-Xanth stuff and
    find it hard to identify anything that DOESN'T have fantasy in
    it. There's a lot of stuff with ideas about humanity, politics,
    sex, and other things like that too. Albiet, not much like a
    good hard-science Ringworld novel.
