I found the main character somewhat annoying, but plausible given his
circumstances. I liked the other protagonist characters and the
setting. In my late teens at the time, I wasn't yet put off by the
EEEEEVIL antagonist. I did find some of the names to be ridiculous:
"Drool Rockworm", good grief.

I *was* quite annoyed to learn, a few years later, that leprosy could
in fact be treated. If the novels were set in an earlier period, that
wasn't clear to me.
