He wrote a great series called Riftwar, with 30 books. Unfortunately, the last 3 were pathetic -- partly because they appear not to have been edited.

(Book two of the last trilogy has Pug coming to the Pantathian island twice, both times for the first time, without having left, IIRC.)
And in general the last five books just weren't up to snuff and got progressively worse.
It really killed the series, because you cannot just read SOME of a series, can you?

It is one of my big pet peeves. You know what they say about intense love and intense hate...
