I haven't heard of any of them either. But what the heck, I'll MAM them all.

(with the exception of "The Herod Men" and "Kalin". I'll have to pass on these. Anyone else want to take a crack at them, knowing nothing about the books?)

"The Wizards of Senchuria":

Wizard 1: I'm the stoic one
Wizard 2: I'm the funny one
Wizard 3: I'm female, so that makes me the love interest. I have fewer lines than anyone else.
Evil Wizard: I will conquer all of Senchuria!
[Wizards 1, 2, and 3 stop him. Someone falls in love with Wizard 3.]
THE END

"The Bane of Kanthos" sounds similar:

Fighter: I'm the strong one
Wizardess: I'm the smart one (and the love interest)
Thief: I'm the comic relief
Kanthos: ARG! I WILL DESTOY YOU ALL!
[The heroes defeat Kanthos.]
THE END


"Dark Planet" could be some sort of stupid book based on a cheesy science-fiction television show:

[Doctor Who defeats the Daleks again.]
THE END

"Cradle of the Sun" sounds like some boring long-winded Victorian Era romance novel:

[Upper-class female lead and lower-class male lead are in love with each other and agonize about it until they die alone, 650 pages later.]
THE END

-Faux "will now go to amazon.com to read book reviews and see if he's any way accurate." Pas
