MixedThis is the third in the sequence. Keeper of the Secrets, also known as the Mad Goblin. Not one of Farmer's best books, but like I say, I do have this thing about Seven House books, so it kind of had to be done really.

The mad goblin (1970)
Creators: Mixed They were known simply as the Nine - grim and ancient rulers who 30,000 years ago had discovered the key to eternal life and ever since had secretly held the world in thrall. Once, Doc Caliban had been their servant and had shared their secrets. Now, appalled by their tyranny, Caliban sets out on the trail of the deadliest of the Nine - the mad goblin Iwaldi, the very incarnation of Evil.

Gene WolfeBack in print for the first time in more than a decade, Gene Wolfe's The Fifth Head of Cerberus is a universally acknowledged masterpiece of science fiction by one of the field's most brilliant writers.
Far out from Earth, two sister planets, Saint Anne and Saint Croix, circle each other in an eternal dance. It is said a race of shapeshifters once lived here, only to perish when men came. But one man believes they can still be found, somewhere in the back of the beyond.
In The Fifth Head of Cerberus, Wolfe skillfully interweaves three bizarre tales to create a mesmerizing pattern: the harrowing account of the son of a mad genius who discovers his hideous heritage; a young man's mythic dreamquest for his darker half; the bizarre chronicle of a scientists' nightmarish imprisonment. Like an intricate, braided knot, the pattern at last unfolds to reveal astonishing truths about this strange and savage alien landscape.
