Finished: _Imperium_, Keith Laumer. Another trilogy in a fat book. The first of these cross-time adventures is the best, as Laumer's proto-Retief protagonist is kidnapped, whisked across timelines, and asked to do the Prisoner of Zenda routine. Complications ensue, then the hero gets the girl and the glory. The second volume involves multiple parallel simian sophonts. Yes, monkey business. The third is simply bad -- Laumer had off days.

Wasn't the third one written after his stroke?
