Niel is the correct spelling of his name Deleted image removed Image Niel hancock roadtothemiddleislands.jpg thumb Cover of Road To The Middle Islands After being out of print for several years, his novels are being reprinted by Tor Books . Hancock s fantasy books are grouped into three sets of four books each. A stand alone novel, Dragon Winter , is not explicitly part of this storyline. Hancock writes high fantasy with strong spiritual overtones, similar to Ursula K. Le Guin , C.S. Lewis , and J.R.R. Tolkien . His books were released at a time when interest in high fantasy was at a peak, and very little writing in that genre existed. As the genre expanded, his books went out of print. Citation needed date January 2009 Hancock has a unique approach to the high fantasy genre which separates him from other authors. While other authors are influenced by Eastern beliefs such as Le Guin , Hancock constructs his fantasy to explicitly include Buddhist concepts of moving through cycles of time and rebirth. The river Calix Stay of his books is very similar to the river out of samsara in the Dhammapada . Characters cross this river into another world, but are soon reborn back into their lower world to work out their karma . The books use the framework of the traditional fantasy quest, but this quest is often secondary to the real plot, which centers on the struggle to escape samsara in the fantasy world. The plot is often difficult to follow, particularly to those unfamiliar ... niel hancock Bibliography isfdb name id Niel Hancock name Niel Hancock Persondata Metadata see Wikipedia Persondata .
