What is the basic idea of the trilogy, if you don't mind my asking?

This might be a good recommendation.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Otherland is also good, but it meanders a lot more than MS&T. Also, it's more sci-fi than fantasy. *NM*

It's not so much a series as a "oh, people liked my book, I'll start writing sequels".
