Summary: Answering the question: Where is Sterling Lanier?
Review: I met Mr. Lanier in 1984 at a book signing in Frederick, Maryland. Shortly after meeting him I heard that he was working on the third Hiero book and had it written in his mind; however, he suffered something that may have bee a stroke, and the memory of this unwritten book was lost to him. I heard that he was trying to reconstruct the book, but I do not know if he was able to or even if he is still alive. Regardless, we owe Mr. Lanier a debt of gratitude, not only for Hiero, but more importantly, for a book we all know as a classic in the genre. Frank Herbert brought a manuscript to Sterling Lanier after being turned down by virtually every other publisher. By his own account (one that I have not verified, so there is your caveat), Mr. Lanier was, at the time, an editor for Chilton, and he had the intelligence and foresight to publish this book titled "Dune". Thank you Mr. Lanier, wherever you are!

Summary: This book rocks!
Review: I read Hiero's Journey a few years back, and just had the luck to find this book a few days ago. Now, I learn there's no third book. Not a good thing. I truly enjoyed the first two books. I became immersed in Hiero's world. The text was riveting and concise, and drew me in with ease. I'll recommend this book to lots of people, regardless of the lack of a sequel.

Review: I too have finished Unforsaken Hiero, and on the last page Hiero is left seperated from his love Luchare, where is she? He calls out with his mind, I too call out, where is the next volume? Does anyone know? I have got to have it, its been too many years in the waiting. Please someone find out.

Summary: "The Much Anticipated Third Book
Review: I wrote a letter to Mr. Lanier back in the early 90's and received a response letter from him. He informed me that on the third book he has quote, "a title (Mobilis in Mobili), one bad chapter and a lot of brooding." He was 65 years old at the time and the response letter was postmarked in Florida. According to him he occupies at lot of his time scuplting. He even has a few pieces in the Smithsonian Institute. He was working on figures of characters from "The Lord of the Rings" at the time of the letter, but said he could not sell them because of copyrights from that dreadful animation by Ralph Bashki. His own words. I implored him to complete the trilogy in my letter, and that I was not alone in my anticipation of it. Perhaps if more people contacted him and expressed their desire for him to finish the novel, he will. Write your letter to him through Ballantine Books in New York. They will forward it to him. Hopefully Hiero will ride again on Klootz!

Summary: Super
Review: Okay, I have read the first two books as well, and I would like to add my name to the list of people begging for Sterling Lanier to come out with more books in the series-- these are among my FAVORITE sci-fi books EVER, and going from the amount of it I read that probably says something. However, I do have one nagging suspicion; is Sterling Lanier dead or something? I would hate to think so, but how else could he have left this series where it currently is? Again, I love these books and I hope he is out there, writing more. Does anybody have any info?

Summary: Hiero's Journey and The Unforsaken Hiero
Review: The 2 Hiero books are WONDERFUl. I have read them dozens of times and love reading them every time. Be warned if you have not read these books. The triology is unfinished and it seems will never be, so you will enjoy reading them but will be left with an empty feeling not knowing what happens to everyone.
