More About the Author

David Bischoff has published over one hundred novels including THE SELKIE, THE JUDAS CROSS and THE GAMING MAGI TRILOGY.

"I'm so pleased to both THE DESTINY DICE and WRAITH BOARD, the first in my fantasy trilogy THE GAMING MAGI, in ebook format. I let my imagination run wild on this one. I did it before A GAME OF THRONES by George R.R. Martin and I'm thrilled it's reached a kind of cult status -- particularly amongst computer gamers and designers who've told me it influenced them."

Bischoff's other novels now available on the Kindle include TIN WOODMAN, the basis for the STAR TREK:THE NEXT GENERATION episode "Tin Man" and the STAR HOUNDS series.

"Wow," says Bischoff. "When I put THE INFINITE BATTLE out, it roared right up
the charts."

Book Two STAR HOUNDS: GALACTIC WARRIORS and Book Three STAR HOUNDS: THE MACROCOSMIC CONFLICT have just been released.

This review is from: Masters of Spacetime (Dr. Dimension) (Paperback)

It was as if M*A*S*H* became Sci-Fi. It' a B movie Science Fiction flick, in novel form. If it were an actual movie, you'd no doubt see it on Mystery Science Theater 3000. I laughed, I groaned, I rolled my eyes a bit. If you're not into puns, this book will be no pun for you.

This review is from: Masters of Spacetime (Dr. Dimension) (Paperback)

Dr. Demetrios Demopoulos, a scientist from the US circa. 1950's, has created what turns out to be an inter-planetary travel craft...and lands in what turns out to be an inter-galactic war. 'Fish out of water' is a term that applies here.

Dr. Dimension is a collaborative effort between John DeChancie and David Bischoff that works fairly well on many levels but comes up short on other ones.

On a whole, it's a very amusing and well written novel. Part Buck Rogers, part The Nutty Professor and part 80's Sitcom.

The execution of the book is very well done but it seems like you can tell which parts were written by which writer, or another way to say it is it doesn't feel fully homogenized. Whether it's the reader's imagination or reality, it does detract from the novel slightly.

However, on a whole, the book is a wonderful story. Dr. Demopoulos is a lecherous old scientist who is like a cross between Albert Einstein and Danny Devito in Taxi...an all around great character.

I'd reccomend both this book and it's sequal Dr. Dimesion: Masters of Spacetime to anyone who enjoys a good sci-fi book and particularly to anyone who is partial to old radio serials as the story passes an, obviously, intentional likeness to them.
