Nemesis of Evil is absolutely the best puzzle yarn book I have ever read. Lin Carter has crafted a marvellous mystery that kept me guessing until the very end. I finished the entire book in just a few days, even missed watching a Dallas Mavericks game! Besides a great mystery, Lin Carter has populated the book with an amazing diverse cast of characters: Doc Menlo, Ace Harrington, and my favorite: Scorchy Muldon. I wish Scorchy got a little more of the "action" he is always pining for. The only aspect of the book that is a bit unbelievable is that Lin Carter would have us believe Zarkon is virtually anonymous. What? A handsome bronze hunk like him, a Prince, a vastly wealthy man? Prince Zarkon would be on the cover of GQ, People, Business Week, etc. As an added bonus, the cover of my copy of Nemesis of Evil has a Don Maitz painting!
