In some ways I have to agree with IronDragon. Anthony doesbeat his chest about the volume of his production. However, since I'm not looking for the "great novel" when reading fantasy, it doesn't bother me. I enjoy the the wide flow of new ideas that Anthony brings to the table. So, on the other hand, I agree with Chewbacca, that the imagination shown leads to great stories.

One thing which I have wondered about is if anyone else has noticed an ongoing anger towards organized Christianity/religion in Anthony's work. In the Incarnation series it is most obvious in "Love of Evil" where God is shown to be totally narcissitic, lost in self-adoration and it is up to Satan to make things right. The premise and ideas brought forth are thought provoking but Piers' moral and philosophical arguements show, what I take to be personal anger, and poor logic.
