No Third Book

This was a great continuation of his first book. The bad news is that Robert Adams died before he could write the last book so we won't know what he was planing to do, but the series was leading to somewhere good. Well worth reading the books

The Best

I recently re-read both Book 1 and Book 2 and was again amazed at the great amount of detail left hanging for the next book. Is there a number 3? If anyone knows, where can I get a copy?

Stairway to Forever & Monsters and Magicians

These are both extraordinary books with one slight drawback....no-one seems to know where book 3 is. If anyone can find it let me know.....

An engrossing read

This is the second in the Stairway to Heaven series I have read. I am searching for any and all other books in the series and by this author. The characters and plot were engrossing and the world behind the wall is well drawn and believable. I always enjoy books where the characters possess augmented psi powers. The way these powers are developed and the reasons why the primary characters possess them tie into many of the old legends. Nicely done. My one complaint is that there are too many sub-plots left hanging if one doesn't have the next book in the series. I am desperately seeking book three so I can learn what happens next!

An engrossing read, I am searching for the other two books.

The characters are well developed and their actions realistic with the personalities developed. The action is easy to follow and the different plots are woven together exceptionally well. I will not hesitate to buy other books from this author.
