Thanks - I'd had it lurking in my email drafts folder for a while but the Diana Gabaldon connection made this feel like a good time to post it.
I've seen a lot of the covers of those books, but never read any of them.
Do not read the Jack L. Chalker ones. The sexism fail quotient is *strong* in that series. I suspect I wouldn't be able to get through them now, but as a fifteen-year-old, it went right over my head -- It's only looking back that I look at, say, the one heroine who is sold into sexual slavery involving full-body butterfly tattoos and the other heroine who is cursed to become overweight as a punishment for screwing up and go OMGWTF.
