Actually, when I first started reading I was a little confused because it starts with a chase scene of a runaway surf, not Magnus D'armond. But once I figured out what was going on everything went smoothly and I got totally into the book. A Wizard in Absentia is definetely one of Christopher Stasheff's better books and it goes very smoothly into the next book of the Rogue Wizard series A Wizard in Mind (another great Stasheff book). The only boring part was when he aganizes over his unethical use of his telepathical powers over one of his relations (on his father's side). Other then that the book was very interesting. I especially liked Ian, the runaway serf and Herkimer, the spaceship that was a gift from his relations.

After reading the last two books in the entire series, I'm reading them all in order. Of the first three, I like this the best. Characters are more interesting and the plot is moving along nicely.

I'd still highly recommend reading all the series in order, but as with other series done well you really could read them all in any order and enjoy them as well.
