Summary: Not your typical FR book.
Review: Although not quite as polished as his Greyhawk trilogy, I still found this book to be quite enjoyable. It's not your typical FR novel, but considering how formulaic the line has become, this is a good thing. Kidd's stories include unusual characters, and the dialogue sparkles with wit. If you're looking for a standard fantasy novel look elsewhere. If you're looking for something engaging and different, read this.

Summary: shoot me please!
Review: I am a big big forgotten realms fan and well it pains me to say how much this book sucks. Not only is the writing just hard to read its content is boring as well......and if I wanted to read a book about a frickin lazer I would buy a sci-fiction book. Its really too bad that this book was so poor because the four previous nobles books were great.

Summary: Horrible!!
Review: I have read almost all of the FR novels that have been written to date. This is without a doubt the worst one. Every other novel in the setting has been great. Some start slow, but they are always good. This one, I read and read, and kept waiting for it to get good. One month later (and a couple of good books in the middle to break up the boredom) and I was at the end. It just never got good. The only reason I bothered finishing it, is that I kept waiting for something to happen. Without a doubt one of the most boring books I have ever read. If there were negative stars to give out, I would do it for this one.

Summary: Worst book I ever read
Review: I read all of the Realms novels. I now wish I didn't. This was without a doubt the worst book I have ever opened. Where most books take me one or two days to read, I was reading this one for over a month. It almost made me wish I was illiterate by the end of it. The plot (if you can call it that) is slow to get moving, and the characters are more boring than watching grass grow. Stay away from this one.

Summary: Worst book I ever read
Review: I'll agree, this is not a typical FR novel. If you've never heard of the Italian Renaissance, the de Medici family, or Leonardo da Vinci, you could not fully appreciate this book. On the other hand, if you are familiar with the names above, you will probably enjoy this tale of courtly intrigue and Renaissance inventiveness. The hero, a young inventor, must recognize the danger of his inventions and use brains to defeat the brawn of a power hungery general. The characters remain a mite one-dimensional, but the style is excellent, swinging easily from action to intrigue to humor.PS- Please don't use the word "LASER" unless you know what it means.
