Summary: Great book! I have been waiting years for the next adventure
Review: Actually, I writing this because Sterling has not yet released the third volume. I have waited and looked in all book stores for the next adventure. Is it possible someone could let us(me)know if you folks at Amazon have any information or pull with the author as to when we could read the next book?

Summary: Ditto on all fronts, fellow Hieros!
Review: All that has been written about these two books is true. And I too share the sadness of the lack of a sequel in the trilogy.If Mr. Lanier is unable or uninspired to continue, I have a novel solution, no pun intended. Perhaps a new writer could be authorized by Mr. Lanier to continue the series, similar to the arrangement that allows Issac Azimov's "Foundation" sci fi series to continue through another author since the great one passed away. I would encourage all Hiero fans to e-mail Ellen Asher, the Editor of the Science Fiction Book Club and implore her to take up this worthy cause. Better yet, use your mind powers to force her to submit before the Unclean and their foul Leemute brethren tighten their grip!

Summary: It's obvious, and sad: Lanier will never publish #3
Review: An 8 is pretty high for me, and means that I literally have been looking for this book or its sequel for over a decade. Dozens of bookstores and libraries, and finally, through the wonders of the Web and amazon.com, I got an out of print copy of Hiero's Journey and the Unforsaken Hiero. I suspect that Mr. Lanier, unfortunately, is no longer with us, which will leave everyone who has enjoyed his wonderful works wondering what might have been. If I am wrong about Mr. Lanier, or the fact that there are no Hiero sequels, please do correct me.

Summary: The best of its type I've read.
Review: Both Hiero novels are outstanding works, and, like everyone else here, I'd like to see #3. I suspect Mr. Lanier is not writing any more, since no one seems to have any info on him. More's the pity.

Summary: An old classic, but still riviting
Review: Both Hiero novels have been favorites of mine since 1983, when their reprints magically appeared on my local bookstore shelf. I recently re-read both novels, and after 15 years, their intense post-apocalyptic world still fascinates me. I was disappointed to hear that there was never a third, since The Unforsaken Hiero closes on such a clifhanger. These novels are a fascinating blend of fantasy and science fiction, crafting a tense and fast-moving story that never disappoints. When I sat down with these two books last week, it took me a weekend to read through them both, and they were as exciting as I remember. I highly recommend these two books to anyone, assuming you can lay your hands on them!

Summary: You will never forget Hiero!
Review: Fifteen years ago I was lucky enough to find and read Mr. Lanier's books. I have never forgotten them. I have long since lost my copies but Hiero and Klootz and Luchare and the wildly imaginative post apocalyptic world Lanier crafted will apparently always remain with me. I almost hesitate to reccommend Lanier's two books to anyone since it is evident there will never be a third installment. But don't let that stop you. Read both books; love them; and then consider yourself a member of a small group of people who have yearned for a third for roughly two decades. LUCHARE!!

Summary: Delightful prose. A sequel worthy of the original!!
Review: I first read "Hiero's Journey" back in '79. My parents gave each of us kids a reading project to finish prior to the end of summer vacation. Then in '83 my dad sent me the hard back "Unforsaken Hiero" to read after he finished it. I have been waiting since then for the third installment. Mr. Lanier, if you care one wit about the sanity of your fans, please, PLEASE, hurry and finish the story. You can't just leave us hanging like this!! The heroic Hiero; lovely and brave Luchare; placid Gorm; loyal Klootz; the aged and witty Brother Aldo; the fiery Abbot Demero; the seafaring Captain Gimp, and the curious and powerful Solitaire are all waiting for us in the wonderful world you created. Standing stalwartly by their sides are the fellow Per's, the hulking Edard Maluin and humble archer Cart Sagenay; the coldly efficient Mantan twins, Geor and Reyn; and the swift and proud Children of the Wind. "Unforsaken Hiero" is proof that a sequel can be as wonderful and original as the first story. Hiero is again put through his paces as he learns the Unclean has left him for dead, stranded out in the radiation blighted desert. Worse, they stripped him of the weapon they fear most: his hard won and powerful mental abilities. Now he must survive not only the harsh heat and deadly radiation, but he must also face the viscious and cunning creatures spawned by the nuclear holocaust 5,000 years past known as The Death. Little does he know that his trek of survival is really a subtle mental lure lain by a powerful mind. Whatta story, Mr. Lanier. Come back to us.

Summary: Wonderful !
Review: I first read this book about ten years ago and the MOST delightful Hiero's Journey a short time before that. There is no doubt we are all in agreement that a third book would be welcomed with open arms. Hiero's Journey and the just as wonderful Unforsaken Hiero rank in the top 3 of my favorite books of all time. My mother introduced me to these books and I would love to be able to share them with others but that's not an easy thing since they are so hard to find (I can't trust them with just anybody). I've never had any luck finding another copy of either, but I'm still looking. The ones I've read belong to my mother and I'd really like a copy of both for myself. Aside from that, hers are so old and well read that they are falling apart. So, if the people or persons with the publishing rights to these two books are listening, please republish these books ! These are the kind of books we want to be able to share with others and pass down to future generations. These books should never be forgotten and they are so hard to find now that in five years they will be all but extinct (they practically are now). How completely sad that would be. Mr. Lanier, if you are out there, we implore you to write number three. If you are not able to, maybe you could collaborate on the project with someone who can. I'm sure any of the top novelists in the sci-fi genre would be proud to be a part of such a timeless and amazing piece of literature. Anybody out there who hasn't read these books and comes across the opportunity to do so, I recommend them highly, even without the long awaited and painfully anticipated number three.

Summary: Hiero's Journey and The Unforsaken Hiero
Review: I have read these books many times and continue to go back to them. They are at the top of the genra. It seems Mr. Lanier has been in ill health for some years, and is unable to write.
It would be wonderful if someone could continue the saga. I have to order more books, as my other ones have worn out from too many readings.
I highly recommend all 3 of his books.

Summary: I need another "fix" of Hiero!
Review: I just finished reading The Unforsaken Hiero again. While I thoroughly enjoyed Hiero's adventures for at least the sixth time, I really crave the next installment of his journey. I have even fantisized about writing my own version of what happens next, but I'm a reader, not a writer. From reading reviews by other readers, I gather that the rest of you feel the same way. It's not fair to get us hooked, then deny us the thing that will satisfy our hunger. Give us another "fix!"
