Okay, we're on better footing now with John Jakes and Brak, with a warrior king of a backwards country deciding Brak must be a sorcerer and giving him two days to work a miracle or die. Brak is always derivative, but never dull!

We started off great, with Jack Vance, a scamp, and a portal to another dimension... but then: Poul Anderson! I know a lot of people like this guy, but I am getting tired of hearing about these sexed-up merfok and how totally naked they are. Getting the impression that 70s writing was juvenile about sex.

Swords Against the Marluk by Katherine Kurtz is a Deryni prequel story about a supposedly momentus event. The story was fine. Probably more interesting to Deryni fans.
