Guin Saga 94, FLIGHT TO FOEVER

I bought the 94th book of Guin Saga today. :)

I began to read the series when I was a high school student and keep reading more than 15 years. The series consists of 100 books, and the story is now getting closer to the climax finally.

Originally, Guin Saga started as a sword and soucery style heroic fantasy, but as the author created a tremendous scale of imaginary world extending the universe, the author needed to tell the story as a Sci-Fi.
There seems to be not a small number of Guin Saga readers who don't like the change. I guess they like classical heroic fantasies such as Conan. But, it's predestinate because of the nature of this story.

Different from such accusing readers, I'm enjoying the story's convergence after over twenty years history as is. Meanwhile, it's amazing that in the story only 6 years have passed against the nearly quarter century of publication history, isn't it? :o)

FYI.
Some earlier books are available in also English here.
