Robert Silverberg's Majipoor Series

Valhalla · 10-27-2010, 03:43 AM

I thought I might like to reread the early books in this series and catch up with the more recent books I haven't read. Can't seem to find most of them. Certainly not available to Australia. Anyone know if/where they can be bought?

Have you looked at Fictionwise? They have many of Silverberg's books, including at least one Majipoor title, in multiformat, which should have no geographic restrictions.

Yes I checked out Fictionwise. They had a couple of titles but not the whole series. Interestingly it appears that they used to sell a bundle of all titles but it is no longer on sale. Looks like they WERE all available but seem to have been withdrawn.

I'm still searching! This has turned into a quest to rival that of Lord Valentine - although maybe not as dangerous

AFAIK there are 7 novels and a few short stories in the series. I can live without the SS but really want all the novels. So far I have been able to buy the first 5 (albeit with some DRM and Geo pain) but the last 2 seem to be completely unavailable (even though they WERE available in the past).

In desperation I turned to the darknet. I found a copy of 'The King Of Dreams' that MIGHT just be readable, but the copy of 'Lord Prestimion' I found is almost certainly unreadable without a lot of editing.

Can anyone aid me in this quest to rescue this series from ebook oblivion??? Have I missed any stores that DO carry the last 2 books?

Thanks

I thought there were only 3. Valintine Pontifex, . . . . and the next two, lol. I used to have them in paperback, but no more.
