Whom the gods would recruit, they first tick off . . .
Our Hero: The unlikely Paladin, Bahzell Bahnakson of the Horse Stealer Hradani. He's no knight in shining armor. He's a hradani, a race known for their uncontrollable rages, bloodthirsty tendencies, and inability to maintain civilized conduct. None of the other Five Races of man like the hradani. Besides his ethnic burden, Bahzell has problems of his own to deal with: a violated hostage bond, a vengeful prince, a price on his head. He doesn't want to mess with anybody else's problems, let alone a god's. Let alone the War God's! So how does he end up a thousand leagues from home, neck-deep in political intrigue, assassins, demons, psionicists, evil sorcery, white sorcery, dark gods, good gods, bad poets, greedy landlords, and most of Bortalik Bay Well, it's all the War God's fault. . . .

Product ReviewDon't play the drinking game on this one: you'd be on the floor by Chapter Two. There were times when I was sure David had a copy of "The Tough Guide to Fantasy Land" open next to him as he wrote, and was ticking off the cliches one by one.
But it is all done with good humor and panache and it never quite descends into either schlock or condescension. They might be cliches but he's thought them out and every now and then turned them on their heads and in all used them cleverly.
Although I think I would have liked it better if Bahzell had finished the book as he started it; still telling any and all gods to sod off.Posted on

Product ReviewLoved it! The first couple pages threw a lot of new concepts at you at once, but after that it was a great read. Fast paced and lots of fun. Loved Brandark almost as much as the main character!
