Yeah, I have a complete set: The Zork Chronicles, Enchanter, Wishbringer, and
the Lost City of Zork, the last one being in my opinion the best. Chronicles
and Wishbringer take the whole Zork world entirely too humorously; the author
of Enchanter and Lost City, although he makes some factual mistakes, has a lot
of really interesting things going on in his books. I still have yet to see a
really serious Zork novel, though, one with writing on the level of something
like Tolkien, or even Silverberg. I suppose I never will; I think I'm the only
person I know of who's still writing Zork material, and none of it will ever
get published :)
