This review is from: The Island Under the Earth (Wildside Discovery) (Paperback)

Unfortunately, even if Avram Davidson were still alive, we'd probably never see the rest of the proposed trilogy that THE ISLAND UNDER THE EARTH was to begin. Fortunately, what's here is entertaining and worth reading. The mood here is similar to that in the PEREGRINE books, although considerably less playful: eclectic fantasy, portentious hints of things to come, interesting characters, and Davidson's offbeat erudition.

Davidson's "false starts" are certainly better reading than much "finished" fantasy published each year.
