I still have Tekumel: Empire of the Petal Throne as well as Barker's two novels set in that world. Really liked those. I also have Feist's first Riftwar series as well as the Servant of the Empire spinoff. I thought both were pretty good, but later trilogies/series were a bit stale. Enough was enough I guess.

The story I heard was that Barker tried to take Feist to court over the EotPT/Midkemia thing but lost. I wish Barker had continued to write more on that world.
