If you are a John Carter of Mars fan or enjoy the "displaced person on another world" then this series is for you. The books run in long story arcs so you can read just a few to complete a plot line or go for the whole set. Akers creates a very complex world for the hero to adventure in. Recommended

Good, but not one of my favorites of the Prescot books. Some sections in the Maze moved a bit slower than Akers' typical fast pace.
