Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must have book, for fantasy readers
Review: I was hooked 2 pages into the book. It is a fasinating story about the future, of earth. It has very interesting characters, that make you feel like your in the book. I am Not in the least dissapointed. Piers Anthony at his best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best post-apocalyptic I've ever read!
Review: I've read this book several times over the years, and it remains my favorite story of post-apocalyptic survival! It is very much worth the time and money required to find a copy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Back when Anthony wrote solid books
Review: I've read this trilogy many times, starting back in the early eighties. I think they should have made a movie (or three) from these books, in the tradition of Planet of the Apes. The books are cool, and they tell a good story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Great!
Review: If you are into post-apocalyptic America, this is the book for you! When I read this in 1984,it started me on what has turned out to be a lifelong passion for Sci-Fi of this type.

A must read for Sci-Fi fans..get the book, you'll enjoy it!

Summary: A guy's book?!? I think not.
Review: The first time I read this book I was about 12 years old and yes, I am a woman. I loved it and have read it a few more times since then. During the three stories the characters must master (or fail) tests of courage, skill, and strength. A must read for any fantasy fan.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Talk about taking a sudden stoopud turn...
Review: The first two novellas, dealing with Sos the Rope and Var the Stick, are good reads. The third novella, which tells the story of Neq the Sword, takes the most appallingly stupid plot twist I've ever seen in a novel. Neq loses his hands and has a sword grafted directly to his arm. Kind of grotesque, but I could live with that a as a plot device. Not too many pages later, he has a glockenspiel superglued to the sword and becomes Neq the Glockenspiel. I flung the book across the room in disgust. The book is worth a look for the first two installments, but don't say you haven't been warned about the third.

Summary: Fight to Survive!
Review: The time is the barbaric future and you have to take up a militant profession to survive and live well.
Warriors, pick up a sword, a club or a rope and enter the Battle Circle to show your skills!
This is one of Anthony's seldom-talked-about-book and difficult to find in bookshops (at least in Singapore and Malaysia)compared to some of his other titles. Hey, even amazon.com has only a used copy for sale!
The trilogy trails the stories of Sos The Rope, Var The Stick and Neq The Sword (no prizes for guessing what weapons they use), with the tale turning from just another military fantasy type yarn, to post-Apocalypse sci-fi in an interesting manner.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Its a Guy's Book.
Review: These are the three finest man's books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. They're classic tales of honor, strength, loyalty, loss, coming of age and all the things that drive the male spirit. This is testosterone city my friends! If you like Tim Allen's serious side, you'll love this
