The cover is quite intriguing. A athleticly built young man in modern explorer outfit in front of a cave on, judging by the vegetation, what must be a forign world. And that summarizes the book quite nicely. Jim Grimson is a drugs-addict who lost control of himself. When he is sent for therapy to a reputed institute, it soon becomes clear that the therapy exists in finding a passage in his mind to the world of Tiers (described in 5 previous books by Farmer).
There is an interacton of Jim with his psychiater, the staff in the clinic and his fellow-addicts getting therapy. But an important part is dedicated to the adventures of Jim in the mind and body of Orc, who will later be known as Red Orc, on Tiers. This world is cruel and harsh where danger for life is never far away. The worst fate would be to lose oneself completely in the alien mind and never be able to come back.
Though a large chunk of the book plays on Tiers, the other half (roughly) plays in the clinic and is psychologically charged quite heavily. Althoug the theories are nice to read about they are also not easy to follow and assimilate.
Too much psychology to my liking and that makes those passages quite dull. The characters over-reacting may be explained by the going cold turkey on drugs and alcohol and of course not exactly stable minds. Nonetheless, a lot more Tiers in typical Sci-Fi would make the book mora appetizing.

Learning more about Red Orc, one of my least favorite characters, through the eyes of a young psyche patient is the basic premise of the book. Not what I was reading for.
Jim is a loser; poor, rebellious & has a crappy home life. He lands in a psyche ward where he undergoes 'tiersian therapy' - role playing through the World of Tiers series. This helps him work through his issues & become a better person. Through his interaction, we learn more about Red Orc's early life & why he is such a bastard.
I didn't care for it. I don't particularly care why Red Orc is the way he is & the idea that this is a valid psychiatric method, as the afterword tells us, gives me the willies.
Until I've read the next book, I don't know how necessary this book is to the series, but so far I think I could have skipped it. I'll try to update this after reading the 7th & last book. If not, look there for the answer.

Rather self-indulgent on the part of the author, using his own books as a tool for projective psychotherapy. It matters little to me that a real psychiatrist actually chose the World of Tiers series in his therapy groups. I found the gratuitous drug use, violence, and sex to be juvenile (fitting, I guess, since the main character is a teen) and unappealing. The prose was too pulpy and the plots, both in Jim’s world and Orc’s worlds, were ridiculously shallow.

This book is the best one thus far in the series. And yet, ironically, it's the first one that takes place outside the series. The World of Tiers series by P J Farmer exists as an element of this story, being used as a psychological tool in the treatment of a troubled young man. The treatment involves the patient entering the World of Tiers in his imagination and becoming one of the characters and then recounting within group therapy what adventures occurred while in this imaginary world.

Red Orc's Rage is the most confusing entry in the Tiers series, if indeed it belongs there at all.
The story concerns Jim. An eighteen year old who has lots of friends, a loving mother, a job, and is banging the lead singer of the local rock band, yet nevertheless turns to drug abuse and petty crime to deal with self-worth issues. After a hillarious incident involving a doped up dog and a hole full of shit, Jim gets admitted into a mental institution, where the treatment consists of reading Farmer's books and pretending to be one of the characters. Bizarrely, this treatment actually exists. So next time question the value of your work, and whether you are a leech on society, take heart in that at least you are not a psychiatrist.
Jim's choice of character was Red Orc. In his words:
Uh, what? Have we read the same book? Red Orc is the guy who briefly imprisoned Kickaha, then immediately lost his prisoner, his base, and very nearly his life due to his incompetence. Then with the aid of William Blake he briefly managed to imprison Kickaha a second time, but then immediately managed to jail himself and had to wait for Kickaha to rescue him. Is this what kicking ass looks like?
I remember the character of Red Orc troubling me the first time I read the series, and it's no better the second time round. Farmer clearly wanted Red Orc to come across as a badass. The books prior to his appearance agressively hinted at him being the most powerful of the lords. Red Orc's rage pretended that was exactly what he came across as. The books he actually featured in, he did next to nothing. What happened? Farmer is clearly capable of writing a convincing villain -- Vala and Urizen came across well enough. Even Urthona comes across as a lot more dangerous than the archvillain. Was the problem that Red Orc was supposed to be Kickaha's nemesis, and Farmer couldn't bear to think that someone would possibly like the villain more than Kickaha? After all, Kickaha needs all the love he can get. Please love Kickaha.
As a result, the adventures of Red Orc in this novel, whether real or imagined by Jim, might as well be the adventures of an entirely new character. He escapes from the "Unwanted World", which is tantalisingly described as a world the pre-Lord race left half finished, but in actuality is just a bog-standard jungle planet. Travels through a biological computer. Kicks a drug habit. Frees the slaves. Eats his father's testicles. The usual.

Jim Grimson is a troubled young boy with a difficult home life. Eventually finding himself in group therapy, he's encouraged to imagine himself as a character in Philip Jose Farmer's World of Tiers series. Immersing himself in the experience, he develops a seeming ability to inhabit the character Red Orc at various stages in his life.
Trying to track down their friend and Lord Jadawin-Wolff, Kickaha and Anana find themselves in a changing, chaotic world, along with its creator, Urthona, Earth's Lord, Red Orc, and one of Red Orc's thugs. They must adapt quickly, while searching for an escape.
Apparently, Tiersian therapy was a real thing that Farmer learned about. I'm sure it must have intrigued him, and I can see the appeal of incorporating into his World of Tiers series as a sort of recursive meta-fiction. Unfortunately, what was likely fun for Farmer has considerably less appeal for readers.
The writing is surprisingly clunky. Perhaps because he has to deal more with the real world, and less with fantastic coincidence and exaggerated personalities, the protagonist seems crudely constructed and only mildly interesting. While there are clear parallels between Jim's home life and Red Orc's upbringing, Farmer strips them of all subtlety, pointing them out and underlining them at every turn.
It's nice for once to see things from the villain's viewpoint, but Farmer never goes very far beneath the surface. 'Red Orc has a hard childhood, so he becomes a bad man' is about as far is it goes. The rest of the book is a series of episodes in Red Orc's life, loosely tied together by the Jim Grimson story. I found it hard to be interested in either.
All in all, likely a fun project for the author, but dull for the rest of us.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

In a world, closer to our own, where Farmer's "The World of Tiers" series appears to be as fictional as in our own, Jim Audson participates in psychotherapy that is based around that series of novels and has experiences that challenge whether he has truly remained in his native universe.
Not part of the "World of the Tiers" series proper, this novel is very meta.

So this book went a completely different route than what I had originally expected and what I would have liked to read. It was creative and interesting but just didn’t have the same effect on me as the previous books did. It was okay.

Awesome and very meta tie-in to one of my favorite Farmer series!

The sixth book of Farmer’s fantastic seties. Highly entertaining. While I have read the first five two or three times each, this was my first read of this one.

A strange side-step from the series' theme, but enjoyable none the less.
November 13, 2014
Maybe I'll read this before "More Than Fire" instead of the other way around. It's sort of a digression from the World of Tiers saga but gives more background on Red Orc I guess.
Finally got into this last night. The last of the World of Tiers series but not really an "in-line" part of it. A digression... PJF had not written the last book of the series when he wrote this one. The author points out the similarity of the endless chasing and fighting of the Tiers series to the action of video games. That wouldn't be an attraction for me and is perhaps why some readers liked the series more than I did. I have no liking for video games. Maybe it's the ADD...
Moving right along... will finish this tonight. It takes a while for the set-up to finish and the sci-fi to begin. I'm not sure it all makes sense logically but there it is. Farmer is kind of a sloppy writer when it comes to details. He first says that Gillman was supposed to go to Harvard Law and then later says it's Harvard Business for an MBA. He calls Ohio St. "Ohio" instead of "Columbus" in colloquial usage. Then he writes that Ijim and Orc build a tree house for protection from arboreal predators. If they're afraid of arboreal predators why perch in a tree??? Whatever... So far this is just OK but interesting enough to hold my attention. Things pick up when we get to Orc's world more or less permanently.
- Apparently PJF is one of those writers who think animal abuse(giving a dog a pile of tranquillizers and LSD "makes good sense"!!!) and killing(dog shot by police because of the pranksters). A similar scene occurred in "Nobody's Fool" and I didn't like it there either.
- The Halloween night shenanigans are absurdly over the top in the gross-out category and are in no way amusing. Again... the author indulging his inner weirdo I guess. He refers to them as "hilarious". Jim could have been gotten into the program without all that. Seems like reader abuse to me.
- typo on p.61 and another one later...
- "albums of records"??? how about "record albums"...
- The serious goodbye dialogue between Sam and Jim is NOT believable. PJF's too old to write that scene.
Now finished with this rather uneven and strange book. Had to lower my rating to 2.5*, which rounds down to 2*. Basically it was a mish-mash of sci-fi and infomercial for Tiersian therapy, with some of Farmer's weirdness thrown in - the castration and nut crunching returns. Seemed kind of like a sloppy rush job to me. Can't rate it as being as good as the other Tiers entries. The constant referring to Farmer by Farmer is over the top in self-advertising.

Honestly, this is really more of two-and-a-half stars for me. For those expecting the saga to continue where the previous books ka left off, you'll be disappointed. Likewise, if you expect significant insights into the character of series nemesis Red Orc, there's really not much of that here either, and what is presented is episodic and rather unsatisfactory. The bulk of the story doesn't actually take place in that universe at all, but is rather a factionalized account of a real method of psychotherapy that uses Farmer's Tiers series as a core of its methodology.
That story is not without some interest, but to present it as a continuation of the Tiers saga comes across as something of a bait and switch. (In fairness, that's as likely a decision of the publisher's marketing arm as from Farmer himself.) Unfortunately, the "real world" segments also underscore some of his weaknesses as a writer, particularly in the case of dialogue that's occasionally so clunky that it can be painful to read.
Ultimately the book is an acceptable if unspectacular read, but those looking primarily for more of the world of Tiers can consider it inessential.

I have no patience for books that are thinly disguised infomercials. The last such abomination I read in this category was Demons Don't Dream by Piers Anthony. Red Orc's Rage was slightly better than Demons but that isn't saying much.
The dedication to, and the Afterword by Dr. A. James Giannini, explains the reason behind this dog's breakfast of a book. Giannini has been using Farmer's Tiers books as therapy since the late 1970s. It's basically a form of role playing. He calls the process "Tiersian therapy" and Farmer got wind of his work.
Rather than smiling politely and moving on, Farmer decided to write a book about a fictional troubled teen who is of course a fan of the Tiers series to begin with so is the perfect candidate for the therapy when he's put in a mental hospital. Of course for him, the journey is real and he gets to have all of his long desired adventures in Farmer's creation.
This wretched thing reads like bad fan fiction. The novel is a complete waste of time. It lacks the edginess of earlier Farmer and it doesn't make up for it with maturity.

February 25, 2016Interesting. Meta fiction. Not what I expected. A book about a US psychiatric institute using other books by this author to assist in mental health recovery. Fictional, and multi-faceted. The but about the ghostbrain made me think of Greg Egan's The Jewel short stories - i.e. anything that imitates your brain is in effect your brain. And an interesting setting - a disaffected troubled youth who uses hallucinogens - set in the late seventies I think. There's no suggestion that the treatment actually works, and perhaps a hint that the shrink, Dr Porsena may be more than just a shrink, but in my eyes it never went far enough. I kept expecting it to reveal some hidden facet of reality.
But as a meta novel, a novel about a novel, I enjoyed it. Farmer pays out on himself several times for not finishing his World of Tiers series.
Different and interesting but not the best Tiers book I've read.

The best part of this book is that it’s finally over.
If you like shameless self promotion, unnecessary and uninteresting and tangential sequels to what is (in my opinion) a very average fantasy series, this is the book for you.
This book exemplifies what is wrong with the entire series - characters you just can’t get invested in, long stretches of “action sequences” that are really, really hard to imagine and follow, and an author who constantly compares himself to another (William Blake, in this case).
I’m one of those unfortunates who cannot not end a book (OCD there), so not only have I suffered through the poor writing, plot, characters in this book... but the whole series. There is a lot of really great fantasy writing out there. This isn’t it.

I'm really surprised by how much I liked this book. I picked it up in the library, thanks largely to the lurid title and cover art; I was unfamiliar with Farmer or The World of Tiers series to which Rage is loosely connected.
It's not a perfect book; there are lots of little continuity errors (e.g. which characters the patients are role-playing) that speak to a lack of thorough editing, and many of the none of the characters with the exception of Jim/Orc are particularly well-developed. Nevertheless, as a character study of a troubled young man (and his maybe-real arch-villain alter-ego) this book was a resounding success. I'll be reading more of Farmer in the future.

Possibly the best book related to the World of Tiers saga, even if Farmer treats it as outside of the series. I have no idea what value to place on the dedication section where he a advises research was being conducted into a method of psychiatric therapy to treat troubled adolescents was being undertaken using characters out of the previous World of Tiers books. The idea would fit into Farmers apparent interest with mysticism. I liked it alot

If you take the effort to skip the chapters set in the "real" world, the story of Red Orc's passage to manhood is great mythic fiction.
And you've got to give Farmer credit for the worst opening sentence ever.
This is worth reading for Farmer fans only, if you are new to him go and read A Private Cosmos or To Your Scattered Bodies Go.

Farmer took a break between the first five or so books in the World of Tiers series and this one, and this one is just not as good. The first five are really strong. This one is OK, but not much more than that.

Just starting Chapter 4 (page 18). So far is good read. Philip Jose Farmer is usually a great writer and this one looks to be good.
Finished a long time ago. Good book. Looking forward to reading more in the series.

I am doing this type of therapy as a co-therapist with the Doctor in this book. It is a very interesting method of intervening and helping people to tranfrom their lives.

Not a bad idea,that ended up being the weakest of the 'World of Tiers' series.

More offbeat writing from a master. If you don't mind a multitude of styles from the same guy, Farmer's your man.

If you haven't read it yet, take my and everyone else's word: don't bother

Not exactly Farmer's finest hour. Totally unnecessary read for WORLD OF TIERS fans.
