Castle Perilous

This is my favorite fantasy series, and when I later researched my own novel, I discovered a Hedy Lamarr movie with the title Experiment Perilous. I suggest it as a title for the next in DeChancie's series.

This is one of the greatest light fantasy series ever. Humor, action, inventive ideas, often brilliant prose...it's all enjoyable. Don't believe any but the five-star reviews. You can't please everyone, but this series has millions of fans. The only thing I want to know is, when is the next one coming out. It's been too long since the last one!

This book introduced me to the writings of John DeChancie. His writing is imaginative, witty and enjoyable in a way that is sadly hard to find elsewhere these days.The actual story line of the book can be assertained by reading other user reviews, but suffice to say it's a story about a magical castle that resides at a universal and dimensional nexus.Castle Perlious is the first novel in a series of 8 that will leave you amused and thoroughly entertained.One day, someone somewhere will pick up Mr. DeChancie's books and you'll see them made into a TV or Mini-series, possibly into a video game, maybe into a pen and paper Role Playing Game. At any rate, they're far too good to remain cult classics forever.

Bar None, this has always been my favorite book. The only problem I had with it is that my original copy had a great picture on it and was just incredible with the details, this version while it has all of the original....has a boring cover picture.

I've read the entire Castle Perilous series and hooked a few friends and relitives to boot. Hard to beleive it all started back in 1988, . All are sweet eye candy but what a taste. The story centers around this castle with gateways into so many other relities that few can keep track of most of them, let alone all. The castle inhabitants are mostly people who stumbled though one of the portals and just decided to stay. Some books are strange, some are just plain great. If ya see any of this series I sugest checking them out.
