I've read a lot of SciFi/Fantasy and this series is one of the best. Most of the books being written today have very predictable plot twists; not this one! I agree whole heartedly with the reader from Louisiana - Mr Shelley, please let us know what happens to Gil next!

If you can't find these books in your local used book stores, try Amazon's ... used book location service. I've had good luck with both.

Rick Shelly is masterful in this storytelling. I will always keep this trilogy around till they crumble to dust!

If you havent read them: your dumb. One of my favorite breaks from reality. will reread over and over, and force everyone I know to subject themselves to a slip into the unexpected.

Although written into a corner, I would love it if Mr. Shelly could find a way to bring life back to this idea. We need more in the essence of this first book. Where the other compliment it nicely I feel the first is the best.

I first stumbled across these books over a decade ago. Since then, I have read the series to myself several times. I have also read them outloud to my wife. (She loves my Uncle Parthet voice, ha!)
The author's writing style makes EXTREMELY easy and relaxed reading. A blend of wit, sarcasm, and action make the books FUN FUN FUN!
The story is interesting.
The characters are loveable!
Everything has its place.
I whole heartedly recommend this trilogy! My copies have been passed around among my friends - and everyone agrees - these are GREAT!
My wife is re-reading The Son of the Hero for the third time now!

I first came upon this series at my local library and fell in love with all three books instantly. Ten years later they still remain my favorite books and hold the most coveted spot on my shelf. I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. The story line is fantastic and carries smoothly through all three books. I love the main character Gil and enjoyed following his quests into Shelly's strange world. The story line is unique and perfect for anyone who enjoys fantasy novels and timetravel-esque books.

this series is the best set of books I have ever read. I definatly reomend this to anyone who loves to read fantasy books!

Easily some of the best books I've read in a long time, repeat "Looong time" I loved the characters, but I have got to see more of Gil out there somewhere. I've got all three, but I want more.
