I am very glad I did. This book sets up a series (4 books to date) that should please the desire for a fantasy epic that is concluded within reason (Hear that Jordan). What this has that other 'fat' fantasy doesn't is a Bryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10352427254696862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144598.post-1073770504429270772004-01-10T13:25:00.000-08:002004-01-10T13:36:49.590-08:00The Coming of Conan The Cimmerian by Robert E. Howard This is a work of art. Inside you find the origins of the greatest sword and sorcery hero of all time, CONAN. Do not confuse this man with the Governor of California, this Conan is big, strong, smart, terrible, fearless, barbaric, young, a thief, a king, a pirate and everything in between. These stories jump out at you, Howard in his pure,Bryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10352427254696862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144598.post-1072563368800014572003-12-27T14:02:00.000-08:002003-12-27T14:17:35.640-08:00A Hymn Before Battle by John Ringo It's been awhile since I've delved into Military SciFi. Actually looking at my reading list it's been a LONG time!! When I got to the library this time I was looking for something VERY different. Since I still have about 20 Sharpe and Aubrey novels to get through I almost got one of them. Then I looked at the want list and decided on a Futuristic instead ofBryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10352427254696862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144598.post-1071960992801500452003-12-20T14:56:00.000-08:002003-12-20T15:19:38.043-08:00Those Who Walk In Darkness by John Ridley I looked forward to this book as it has the same storyline as one of my favorite comics, POWERS. Superheroes are real and outlawed and there is a special unit in all police forces to deal with this "menace". After that there is no comparison. Bendis (Powers) knows how to drive a story and develop characters you care for. Ridley does not.
