A great read!

I've not read much fantasy since childhood, but this book has opened me up to a new world. I had a hard time putting "Quest" down, and traded plenty of my sleep time in for it. But, that suited me well since it was more fun than dreaming anyway! The authors do an incredible job of depicting the imaginary world and inhabitants of Infinitera. I'd recommend this book to anyone who appreciates imaginative creativity at its best!
Bravo Bravo!!

Here you've got an engaging story on a distant world, one which has fought already one war to keep it from destruction, and now faces another such challenge. Good characters with good characterization. A very good read and one heck of a way to start a writing career (James Richey). Keep up the good work!

A wonderful story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I am a Piers Anthony fan and I love to read all his book, but I am a little worry about collaborations. For the mere nature, they are different from what I am used to when reading straight Piers. But after reading Quest, I have to say that I am not dissapointing at all. It is a wonderful, warming story from newcomer James Richey. This novel is beyond my expectation. It has great characters, specially Chentelle. It has a really nice story to tell. The world and goals of this universe are outstanding. I really love the small poems and songs that James used to give feeling to the novel. As James said in his author's notes, Allan Riggs addition of the Ill-creatures is excellent. They are evil and cunning and different from the regular description of goblins and other monsters. I love the elves in this novel. Not stuffy, aloof creatures, but hearthy and down to earth, but still different from humans. So if you haven't bought it yet, don't wait, you will not be dissapointed.
involving fiction, and a fun read

I had to get this book because I am a self-admitted Piers Anthony addict. If you're like me, don't be fooled by his name on the cover. According to the author's notes, this book was really written primarily by the al in et al. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic book, it's just not classic Anthony. There's a great deal to this story; it's involved without being overly complex. It's smart, but the ending is perhaps a bit strange. It does have a moral of sorts in the questions it asks. Is peace and harmony the ultimate goal? If so, what means are justified to that end? Different characters embody empathy, honor, frustration, and faith quite well, while maintaining their human nature (despite their sometimes non-human status). Look for more from these authors in the future, you shouldn't be disappointed.
