	Piers Anthony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Piers Anthony Dillingham Jacob (born August 6, 1934 in Oxford, England) is a writer in the science fiction and fantasy genres, publishing under the name Piers Anthony.
		Anthony was fllisted at one time, and thus feels that it is his duty to help aspiring writers circumvent traditional publishing houses and their stranglehold on the industry.
		Anthony's position in the novel is that as population decreases, technology and civilization go along with it, so Scot and his companions must re-learn primitive agriculture while dealing with tribes of hostile nomads.

	Dani Zweig's Unnumbered Reviews #8: Piers Anthony
		Piers Anthony is a writer with a gimmick.
		(Anthony's series generally decline, but the Xanth series has run long enough for the decline to be particularly visible.) One other word of warning: Piers Anthony's handling of relations between the sexes generally puts me in mind of a twelve-year-old peeking up girls' dresses, but nowhere is this more pronounced than in the Xanth novels.
		It's more useful to think of Piers Anthony's books as a commodity, in the sense that a Harlequin romance is a commodity: The question isn't "which are the good ones?" so much as "do I feel like reading one?" One of his books is about as good as another for answering that question.

	Prodigious Piles of Pages from Piers Anthony (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Piers Anthony -- the king of serial science fiction and fantasy -- often has more novel trilogies temporarily out of print than most authors have, say, short stories.
		Although Anthony has written more than a dozen acclaimed novels unrelated to one another, as well as collaborations with, among others, Roberto Fuentes, Robert E. Margroff, and Frances Hall, his mainstream success is clearly due to his numerous series.
		The novel that would eventually give Anthony bestselling-author status was A Spell for Chameleon, a humorous high fantasy tale involving Bink, a character who is without magic in a world populated by magicians.

	On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony, a fantasy book
		Anthony's self-congratulatory statement in his pompous Author's Note that he has written "a satiric look at contemporary society, with some savagely pointed criticism" is laughable.
		Anthony combines magic with a modern, technological society in clever ways, such as showing competing billboards for automobiles and flying carpets.

		Anthony returns to the magical world of Xanth, last glimpsed in Roc and a Hard Place (Tor, 1995) for another funny, pun-filled story.
		Anthony lost the last few pages on his way to delivering the final manuscript to the publisher, and had to quickly write up a new ending in a minute or so before his deadline.
		The main characters, Chlorine and Demon Xanth was an unlikely pair to put together but Piers knew what he was doing-creating a very powerful and unforgettable novel.

		Anthony's Xanth series, one of the longest-running fantasy sagas ever, continues.
		It affords a good deal of fun, the saga of which it is a part is likely to be Anthony's most enduring (certainly least controversial) creation, and thanks to the size of the Xanth readership, it is absolutely unignorable.

		Piers Anthony never fails to bring his immortal characters to life.
		In this one Irene's prettier and more charming (which is not the same as nicer) and over the course of the story Dor doesn't exactly act with the same gallantry, which I think is unrealistic.
		Anthony seems also to blame this on Irene; that she "trapped" Dor into marriage just so she could be Queen.
