Finally finishing the Gap Cycle by Stephen R. Donaldson: "This Day All G-ds Die."

I've enjoyed the series. He's a good writer and I assume he will wrap it up well. It's an interesting series. The initial novel is based on an idea of switching tropes where the villain, victim, and rescuer switch places during the course of the narrative. The series than expands into an allegory based on Wagner's Ring Cycle, but set in space with the addition of an alien race bent on assimilating humans through introducing mutagens into the DNA. However, while they are the main threat, they are not the main villains. The main characters from The Ring Cycle are obvious, though at least one character is a mix of more than one of the Ring characters.

I recommend the five book cycle. He draws his characters very well. No one is cardboard, they all are interesting and complicated people.
