Her two serious fantasies, however, I really enjoyed. The Healer's War is the story of a Vietnam nurse. The tone is much darker, and the characterization is much richer than her previous novels. The novel is at least partially auto-biographical, since Elizabeth Scarborough *was* a nurse in Vietnam. Nothing Sacred continues in this vein, being the story of American soldiers in the 21st century captured in Tibet and kept in a mysterious prisoner of war camp. A sequel is promised for Nothing Sacred. Given how that novel ends, it will be interesting to see the direction the next novel takes. [O] == Omnibus. Includes other books. /John arpa: jwenn@world.std.com afreesocietyisonewhereitissafetobeunpopular-ly ---------------------------------------------------------------- Scarborough, Elizabeth (Ann) (U.S.A., 3/23/1947- ) Fantasia Galactica (Nebula 1989) Series The Argonia Series Song of Sorcery (1982) The Unicorn Creed (1983) [O/2N= Songs From the Seashell Archives: Vol. I (1987)] Bronwyn's Bane (1983) The Christening Quest (1985) [O/2N= Songs From the Seashell Archives: Vol. II (1988)] The Songkiller Saga Phantom Banjo (1991) Picking the Ballad's Bones (1991) The Drastic Dragon of Draco, Texas (1986) The Goldcamp Vampire (1987) The Harem of Aman Akbar (1984) The Healer's War (1988) [Nebula] Nothing Sacred (1991) Nonfiction An Interview with a Vietnam Nurse (1989)
