Jack L Chalker's Demons at Rainbow Bridge series.

Dave Wolverton's Golden Queen series.

R. A. Salvatore's Drizit books. (Fantasy equal to Brooks and Tolkien.)

Piers Anthony's Blue Adept series.

You need to read the above plus Marrow by Robert Reed and Kiln People by David Brin. Those are the two greatest I have read in a while and went right to the top shelf on the bookcase with the best of the best when I was done with them. Simon Greens new Nightside series is a must read as well.
