The first book was from an idea by MM and the company stuck his name
on the book against his wishes.  They tried to do the same on the second
book, unsuccessfully.  I read it just to read it, it was kind of amusing in a
hazy sort of way.  Elton John the source of all evil.....  the feel I got for it
may have seemed similar in a very minor way to Hawkmoon in his second
set of chronicles, especially when he was all lethargic, listless, and
depressed.  And they both go to America eventually.  But it is in no way
to be confused with good sf (arguably, since it portrays Doug Smith in a
positive light, it must be considered fantasy and not sf at all....)
