| The "author" was Jeffrey Lord, who was actually a number of
different authors. The series ("Richard Blade") numbered up
into the 30's before it finally died.

| Every used paperback place I was ever in had at least one Blade
book. Try some Annie's Book Stops.

Funny you should mention that. I just picked up the first book
in the series over the Holidays at Annie's. Although I go to Annie's
frequently, I've never noticed it before.

Are they all similar to the first one? Where does it go from there?

| They are basically the same. Blade is transported naked into a
random dimension (they find a way to tell which one towards the
end of the series). He can automatically speak the language, there
is always a crisis he gets embroiled in and usually saves the day,
he beds at least one voluptuous female, and returns (sometimes
inopportunely) to the Home Dimension, sometimes with something in
his hand (no, not that; see line 5). *And* his sexual prowess/
need increases with each trip thru the machine.
This is why I've only made it to #15. Hmmm. Maybe I should read
#37. By then he Blade must be boffing every bod he bumps into.
The series seems to be based on REH's Almuric.

Kind of sounds like an SF or Fantasy Nick Carter book. :^)
Thanks for the info.
