Rolemaster Fiction
Vladimir:
One of my GMs had a blog that recorded his weekly campaign sessions that he tied together in a series of stories that eventually had all the previous campaigns intersect at one point. It made for interesting reading as it revealed how the various campaigns leaped from one point in the historical timeline to another and while come campaigns earned no mention in the timeline while others were very significant. All tied together, it was a good read. I wish I had saved it.

There have been other Shadow World novels besides Terry's Loremaster Legacy. I have Stormriders, by Roxanne Longstreet/Ian Hammel, and it looks like she wrote 3 other Shadow World novels in the late 80's/early 90's.

Hmmm... https://smile.amazon.com/Stormriders-Shadow-Fantasy-Playing-Environment/dp/155806138X/ by Roxanne Longstreet who was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Caine
It looks like Ian Hammell who appears to really be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clayton_Emery wrote the others:
https://www.amazon.com/Burning-Goddess-Shadow-World-Book/dp/044100086X/
https://www.amazon.com/Clock-Strikes-Sword-Shadow-World/dp/B00BI45GMY/
https://www.amazon.com/City-Assassins-Shadow-World-Book/dp/B00BNW1990/
Reviews are kind of interesting regarding how those three books are (and are not) related.

Interesting. Ian Hammell appears to be an Ace Books house name, with at least three authors using it, probably more.
Roxanne Longstreet wrote Stormriders, looks like Clayton Emery wrote Burning Goddess and Shadow of Assassins, and Stephen Billias wrote Clock Strikes Sword, possibly with Clayton Emery (since it seems to be a prequel for one of his).
Stormriders was ok. Not great, but it did at least feel like Shadow World.

I listened to the Clock Strikes Sword audiobook and while it gives you some idea of the races involved, as well as the types of magics and technologies, it sounds fairly generic fantasy.
Since I haven't yet played SW yet (my GM plans to teleport the party from MERP to SW) I have to listen carefully so I don't miss any important details.
