It is an absolutely superb book. Even though I nominated LOTR, I voted for Paksinnarion. It has a "prequel", "The Legacy of Gird", which personally I didn't enjoy nearly as much.

Ok... then it's off the table. If the full book (all the volumes) aren't available right. Phew...

Yeah, I didn't like the prequel stuff as much either. Haven't read the first of the new sequel books that are out yet.

I haven't seen those. What's the title? Are they being published by Baen?

Well, yeah,okay, I can see that. Still, I'd think anyone who'd looked up the series must have noticed there were more than three books (and a series with three books is not necessarily a trilogy - says the pedant in me). I think it's sloppy

Unfortunately Moon hasn't published anything with Baen for quite some time (IIRC they had some kind of disagreement and she left for a new publisher).

The first new "Paks World" book is Oath of Fealty and came out from Del Rey as a Hardcover in March...

She's one of those authors who I'll pretty much automatically buy anything she puts out.
