"Stranger In A Strange Land".... ghunk, That is quite a classic from the 60s. I am wondering if your friend was thinking of "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever" by Stephen R. Donaldson, published in the mid-70s. It was a trilogy about a man who is crippled by leprosy and who repeatedly finds himself in another world where he is looked upon as a somewhat defective and enigmatic savior. The question for the reader is always whether the adventure is occurring at all, or whether it is entirely the delusional wanderings of a mind in crisis (a point which seems to be something of a postmodernist-type conundrum now that I think of it). If this is the trilogy that you seek. The books are: 1.) Lord Foul's Bane; 2.) The Illearth War; and 3.) The Power That Preserves. Make no mistake, they are of the Swords and Sorcerer genre and not to everyone's liking. I believe that, from a literary point of view, they are probably a cut above the rest in a genre which tends to be somewhat uneven. They should be easy to find as I believe they enjoyed some popularity in their time. Croc
