Rating: Summary: David Weber does it again! Review: Once more David Weber takes us to the world of the hradani, and that reluctant Champion of Tomanak, Bahzell. An enjoyable read, lighter in character than his hard SF, War God's Own picks up where Oath Of Swords left off, following Bahzell Branhakson as he continues to grow into the role of champion. My only objection is that I finished it too quickly; WGO is shorter than OOS, and while it is chock full of the swashbuckling adventure that made the first book so much fun, I was left hungry for more, much more!
Rating: Summary: The saga continues... Review: Sequel of Oaths of Sword. If you like the first book, you will love this. That's all I will say.
Rating: Summary: What happens when a writer can hack it. Review: This book is 382 pages long and about a nanometer deep
Rating: Summary: So, who needs suspense? Review: This book is really top reading entertainment that doesn't bog you down with plot twists, and suprise endings. If you are looking for something fun that ends well, then this is for you. A review by Epiphyte denigrated it for those very reasons. We all have our peccadillo's, but I for one enjoy the occasional novel that allow's me to relax and not be overly concerned whether the hero/heroine is going to get out with a whole skin! David Weber writes many books like this, and they are all enjoyable. Five stars for fun!
Rating: Summary: Consistent flavor of David Weber and a can't put down story Review: Though the book isn't out yet, the publisher Baen is offering a long preview on thier web page. Baen.com This is where I read part of the book. It is consistent with Weber's flavor of writing and an intrigging story and like the rest of Weber's it's seen from more then one point of view. If you liked any of his books you'll like this one. For those of you who don't know what the book is about (Like I was). Our champion comes into conflict with the sword arm of the order of Tamanak. The remained of the story looks like it will involved the horse stealer going home and needing all the help he could get.
Rating: Summary: It's a light-weight Review: Well, here we are, all waiting for a new Honor Harrington, but to slake our burning thirst, we'll take anything by David Weber. So we get this one, in hard-bound, and down it in one gulp.But, what's this? An unsatisfied feeling about the tummy? Yep. It's not actively bad - even Heirs of Empire wasn't really bad - but whenever gods get into it, your main character has a really, really bad tendency to become, well, boring. You know, in this one, exactly what's coming. All the fun rests on seeing how the author handles the expected heroism. Weber is not the world's greatest at characterization. He's not the greatest writer I've ever read. But he does keep the story going, and I get a kick out of his books. This one was just, well, lightweight. On the other hand, I'll still buy anything he puts out, in hardbound, and down it at one gulp.
Rating: Summary: Tomanoak is Back! Review: With his military sf getting, frankly, too commercial, it was great to see Weber return to Bahzel and Brandark. This book once again reminded me of why I started reading this author in the first place. Forget Honor Harrington! Bahzel is just such a great character! This book just makes you want to read it all in on sitting, which is the highest praise a book can earn, isn't it? I have read both books so many times now that I've needed to replace one of them. It is great to pick up a book and ENJOY it without worrying about complex plot twists or bad guys coming out of left field. If there isn't a third book in the works...
Rating: Summary: Tomanoak is Back! Review: WOW! If you love Lord of the Rings or similar you will love this book. Tomanoak is back! And he's directing Bahzell everywhere he doen't want to go. From a school for the Nights of the Order to a massive cave systme of the dwarfs. if you like long, lengthly and detailed sagas you will adore this book. Just be thankful they don't print the lyrics for Bahzell the Bloody Handed!
