Just re-read Jack L. Chalker's Well of Souls and Four Lords of the Diamond books as well as Piers Anthony's Apprentice Adept series, looking for more that combine magic and sci-fi in interesting ways. (lemmy.ml)

Those were f*cked up but also great. The reveal in “Well of Souls” was so good.

Fantasy+Sci-fi - Timothy Zahn has a couple (Triplet comes to mind), as does David Brin (The Practice Effect). Also well worth mentioning C.S. Friedman’s “Dark Fire” trilogy.

The Practice Effect is great!
