Really enjoyed the first two Galen Sword Books, and give it a "10" for the genre. Haven't read it since it first came out in 1991, and had stopped looking for the next one. The first two books created a well developed universe existing in tandem with our own, which slowly reveals itself through the eyes of the main character. I got caught up in the the hero journey, the slow maturation of Galen, and the seamless way in which the alternate fantasy universe was interwoven with our own, including the mix of science and "magic", combined with a gritty realism that heightened my empathy for the various characters. The authors wrote in their appendix that they had the whole plot line laid out, so am curious as to why they haven't published the next one. I know they've been writing a lot; horror, star-trek, other sf, but I got the impression the Galen Sword series was successful enough to warrant a concluding volume. Hope it comes out one of these days!

I wish the authors would PLEASE finish the series. I've been waiting serveral years for another book in the series. I'm not much of a fantasy fan but this series was really great. I recommend it very highly.

The author(s) started writing Star Trek books after the last "Galen Sword" book and have seemed to have forgotten this series. :(

So many question left unanswered here.

I encourage everyone who wants another book in this series to write to the authors, via the publisher. And express your desire for another book in this series.

I actually had the fortune a few years back, after I read the "most recent" book in the series, to have an email exchange with the authors. I had recalled them saying, although I no longer remember the source, that now that they had returned to the series, they promised to finish the series. That, unfortunately, is my only issue with the authors and the series. When I asked them about that promise, they told me they would never finish the series, or publish another book in the series. I understand that their other books are probably far more lucrative, and I know they have other things going on besides just writing, and I applaud them for that. I, however, detest a promise made and not followed through, better to make no promises at all....

OK, IT'S A TAD PAST JANUARY 2000. AND STILL I AWAIT 'THE RETURN OF GALEN SWORD'. ANY HELP WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED.

There are only about a dozen books I will happily re-read again and again. This is one of them. So for the love of all things wonderful in the world, please finish the series. Oh for goodness sake, I'll write it for you if you want. Just finish it!

I had searched for 2 years for the Nightfeeder volume and eventually found it in a Bookstore in Portland, OR. I live in Auckland New Zealand. So you can see that this book has really captured my imagination with it's great characters and excellent plot lines. If it is any incentive to the Author's this is mondo Blockbuster movie material, in the same vein as Terminator and Blade. Even moreso as it has better developed characters and more intriguing entities, such as near invincible vampires and bad ass arkady shifters, who take all shapes. You mustn't forget the elemental creatures like the Lights and wizards, need I say more. PLEEEEEASE finish the series. Star Trek is great but this is definitely a cult classic that would lead people back into more earthly adventures.

If you enjoyed SHIFTER, chances are you'll like NIGHTFEEDER too. Galen continues his quest for a way into the First World and meets up with some new, and even more dangerous characters along the way. The baddies from the first book also return.
