	The SF Site Featured Review: Lord of Lies
		David Zindell was born in 1952 in Toledo Ohio, but has lived all over the USA.
		Zindell however, is a relative newcomer to the fantasy genre, having earned a well-deserved reputation as an SF writer with his magnificent saga A Requiem for Homo Sapiens (comprised of Neverness, The Broken God, The Wild, and War in Heaven).
		Zindell manages to throw a few plot twists in along the way, and his strong writing and evocative imagery is easily on par with Robert Jordan, terry Goodkind, and David Eddings in terms of a well developed fantasy series.

	The Fire Sermons: David Zindell's A Requiem for Homo Sapiens Trilogy
		Zindell adds to this chorus a powerful, sustained, visionary voice, demonstrating over three long novels his thesis that we can only truly evolve in and through harmony with the basic cycles of Nature, only truly progress by embracing Reality to the exclusion of any virtual alternative.
		Yet Zindell is careful to make clear that these opposites result from the same basic sensations and impulses; Hanuman, even at his worst, is as much a figure of pathos as of evil.
		But his son Danlo, because Zindell wishes him to bear a cumbersomely didactic weight of exemplary experience and ideas, is cast as a paragon, physically "beautiful," a saint of near-infinite patience and compassion, deeply courageous and of visionary wisdom.

	David Zindell, War in Heaven
		When Zindell is creatively inspired, he is one of SF’s paragons; when his attention preachily wanders, the result is a shambles.
		So confident is Zindell that his advocacy of a kind of transcendent pantheistic vitalism is a necessary gospel to his readers that his judgement as a writer is undermined.
		Zindell’s good writing is so good that he must be read; but the bad that comes with the good is often very bad indeed.

	Neverness, by David Zindell
		To summarise the good points of the book, Zindell has composed a detailed and self-consistent future history (of which I have mentioned only part), and manages to give the impression that there is more still beneath the surface.
		The reason Zindell inserted the section is presumably that Neverness is the sequel to a short story about the Alaloi, and we meet here one of the characters from that story.
		While this is understandable, the episode turns out to be a long and tedious wild goose chase in terms of the plot, and it would have been kinder both to the characters and the reader had it been omitted.

	David Zindell interviewed - infinity plus non-fiction
		David Zindell is one of America's most ambitious SF and Fantasy writers.
		Rigorously mystical, and mystically rigorous, Zindell describes external quests with elaborate inner resonances and ramifications; his are amongst the most thematically acute adventure narratives to be found in contemporary speculative fiction.
		Ancient wars between good and evil factions of angels continue in the superficially mundane conflicts of feudal Ea; a Dark Lord, Morjin, seeks to control the Lightstone, a sort of ultimate Holy Grail, and is defied by the paladin Valashu Elahad and his six fated companions.

	Neverness by David Zindell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The story could stand alone if it was set in the past or the present but Zindells scientific best guesses about life in a galaxy and on a planet in the year 2929 give it a fascinating gloss.
		The ideas are fun and surprising and it is rather like seeing the excellent but dry book by Michio Kaku,"Visions" (a summary of leading research) suddenly coming to life.
		The book is wonderful journey through an infinity of possibilities as Zindell the mathematician might put it.

	Amazon.com: The Lightstone: Books: David Zindell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Zindell (Neverness) stirs together the grail legend, a dash of Blake and a sprinkling of Tolkien with other bits of lore in this classic fantasy quest, a revised version of an earlier novel and the first entry in a new series.
		In two appendices, Zindell drones on about the (unillustrated, and irrelevant to the plot) heraldry of the Nine Kingdoms (which, no matter how many times I count them, on the map, or in the appendix, are only Eight!), and about 16 several sorts of magic colored gemstones (zzzz...).
		Overall, "The Lightstone" is an entertaining read, but I wish Zindell had spent even more time on the characters and their history and culture, which is where he truly shows himself to be a master storyteller.

	Journeymen die...dedication, about Neverness & glossary - www.ezboard.com
		David Zindell's first novel, Neverness, is set in the same future as his compelling story "Shanidar," which was the standout of the first Writers of the Future anthology.
		Or rather, while I recognized that Zindell could not match Wolfe at Wolfe's best games, he had some strengths Wolfe doesn't have -- for instance, Zindell's individual episodes, powerful as they are, never obscure the main thread of the story, and while his narrator is self-conscious, he remains fundamentally innocent.
		Zindell has helped develop our collective language, which is a model of our collective mind.

	David Zindell - The Lightstone - The Wheel of Time
		And that is one of the things I like best about Zindell, that no matter what he writes, internal combat is as important to him and his characters as the regular kind.
		Most of all I like the outlook of his characters on prophecies, acknowledging that they can never hope to truly anticipate the way in which they are meant to happen, something that is more than refreshing after the stupidity displayed by characters such as you can find in (for example) Goodkind's books.
		Zindell's other books are SF, but The Lughtstone is pure fantasy.

	The Wild, by David Zindell
		He meets people, so Zindell often can progress the story via dialogue (which he does well) rather than by those long, long paragraphs of description or introspection.
		These are well constructed and described; it's just that, as so often in Zindell's books, the quantity is excessive for all but a student of comparative theology.
		Another problem is an increasing tendency for Danlo to be faced with certain death or madness, only to discover out of the blue some saving mental ability, which subsequently disappears or is ignored.
