And oh yeah, speaking of 80s fantasy, how could we forget the Darkover books? Someone should publish cheap omnibus editions.

The current versions they're publishing have two novels in each one.

Wait, there were more than three books? Or is the fourth one the paperback RPG that they made for the setting?

We're talking Darkover by Marion Zimmer Bradley?

I'm sitting here looking at a shelf full of novels and short story anthologies set in that world. There are way more than three or four.

Ack, I am being brain-damaged. I read "Darkover" and I parsed that as "Darksword", a goofy little trilogy by Weis and Hickman. My bad!

I LOVED the Darkover novels. I was sad when I heard Bradley had passed on.

I loved the Dark Border books by her brother Paul Edwin Zimmer, The Lost Prince, Prince Chodos's Ride and A Gathering of Heros. MZB? Eh. I think her heroines intimidated me as a kid, maybe I should reread.
