Philip Jose Farmer's The Dungeon 2

Rating:
Summary: Good but shows the inevitable decline
Review: Books 1 and 2 began excitingly, daringly. Surprisingly good pulp for a shared world consult. (Mr Farmer's commentary can be ignored as quite pompous in said volumes).

Book 3 is ok, but kind of lacking is the continuity and liveliness. Robin Bailey pulls a strong recovery and book 4 is quite good.

However be warned, though book 5 is adequate, book 6 (included as part of The Dungeon 3 new collection) is HORRIBLY disappointing. The author clearly wrote it without reading books 2-5, and even on those terms it is not well written. So the continuity will be ruined, all the great characters will be lost. So STOP NOW!
