"My first half-star review! (When did GR do that???)
A sad crash-and burn of what could have been a solid bit of fluff. This novel lived on my shelf for two decades unread, and going through old game stuff I came upon "Dangerous Journey's", D&D creator " Read more of this review » |

| So not really any more special than the first book, and I did skim a few paragraphs, less than in book one. I enjoyed the kitchen cooking wars (literal) and thought the drama there rather well done. The characters go through some decent arcs, though ...more | |

is 16% done with Howling Dark: Some good parts, but holy cow. Lots of philosophizing and conversations and talking about life. No wonder this is seven books.

Robert E. Howard's Sailor Steve Costigan: The Complete Collection of Published Stories:
"Overall I enjoyed these quite a bit. These stories are kinda funny and overall knuckle-dragger dumb fun. They are very repetitive but read sporadically they make something greater than the sum of their parts. That said the stories published outside o"

A pleasant intro from the editor Whates. Nice salute to David Gemmell. Good intentions I applaud. Am disappointed in the rather plain, even lackluster, cover design/art though. A very respectable lineup of names, all but one who told stories I enjoyed ...more |

“Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.”

“I have known many gods. He who denies them is as blind as he who trusts them too deeply. I seek not beyond death. It may be the blackness averred by the Nemedian skeptics, or Crom's realm of ice and cloud, or the snowy plains and vaulted halls of the Nordheimer's Valhalla. I know not, nor do I care. Let me live deep while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content. Let teachers and philosophers brood over questions of reality and illusion. I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content.”

“When a nation forgets her skill in war, when her religion becomes a mockery, when the whole nation becomes a nation of money-grabbers, then the wild tribes, the barbarians drive in... Who will our invaders be? From whence will they come?”
