Summary: GET READY FOR FUN! BLOODY SAMURAI FUN!

Summary: Good Book, Good Art. Disney should learn from this.
Review: For those not familiar, this epic is basically Xena, warrior princess combined with Fritz the Cat . It's better than football on monday nights, and more American than Buddha. I firmly believe that by carefully following the maps, one can find the Author's favorite diner on Route 13 in Delaware.

Summary: Pure hilarity, the height of literary humor.
Review: I can honestly say these books (there is five in the series) are the best books I have ever read. My advice? Search them out and find them (I know I have all five in my personal library!). YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

Summary: A fun, romping set of parodies for Fantasy Lovers (ROTFLOL!)
Review: I met Mark Rogers 15+ years ago at BaltiCon, back when Samarai Cat was first being created. In addition to his writings and his art, Mark is also a wonderful dramatic _storyteller_. It was really great to see him get recognized and published. Our 12 year old cat is named 'Shiro' after Miaowara's outrageous Nephew (oh hello, Uncle!). I've never caught back up with Mark, but I feel as if it still was yesterday as I've seen his family of characters grow and develop as each books' stories have unfolded. Just don't make the mistake of loaning these books out to anyone but your closest friends...you'll end up like me, trying to find hard and out of print titles (and the signed 1st Edition is obviously hopeless). A Fantasy lover's collection has to have a sense of humor when looking at itself, so if you liked what the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" did for SF or PDQ Bach's fun with Classical Music, you'll love the fun that Mark pokes at the all-often-too-grandious medium of Fantasy writings. Mark's works plant the tongue firmly in cheek and bites down with amazing wit. Read this book alone so as to not embarass yourself with your gigglesnorts.

Summary: read it as a child and never ever forgot it.
Review: I read this book about 6 times in a row as a kid...the title page fell out because it had been read so much and I framed it and put it on my wall! I really wish it was still in print...please let me know if it becomes available. It is definately a world I'd like to revisit.

Summary: This is the book that made me want to read.
Review: This book from page one was going to be a cult classic. Samuri Cat is modern day embodiment of antiestablishment. Rogers has crafted a story that you hate to see end. He attacks the mainstream with a piercing wit that can only be appreciated by the sickest minds.

Summary: List of Sections, With Quotes
Review: This book is the first and best in the series, and contains the following sections:KATEMUSHA
---------
In feudal Japan, loyal samurai Miaowara Tomokato returns from a family visit to find his lord dead in a scene of destruction that's completely spoiled me for similar scenes forever. Maybe it's the arrow-ridden dragon in Red Army uniform, or the landgoing replica of the Merrimac. "From his vantage-point Takeda Katsuyori surveyed the grim scene. 'Fudge," he gritted." THE BRIDGE OF KATZAD-DUM
------------------------
Samurai Cat pursues one of his lord's killers into Tolkien country, dealing with such critters as porks and the dread B'aalhop. "The katana whirred and flamed, slicing through tentacle after tentacle, whistling in a constantly repeated *Datsun Tempura*, or Divine Whirling Outboard Motor Propeller Blow." THE BOOK OF THE DUNWICH COW
---------------------------
The setting: a Lovecraftian town whose houses consist only of gabled attics to hide the squamous half-human denizens of Outsmouth. "Yog N'goggawoggah and Yoknapatawpha, twin masses of stone-cold cream chip beef that ooze sluggishly in the center of all time and space, are their chiefs, terrible in combat, unappetizing to behold. Their herald and messenger is Stor-Atroomtemp, Lord of the Luke-warm, Cosmic Blight, Master-of-Many-Shapes-and-Interesting-in-None-of-Them. Their publicity is handled by the horrendous Isaac Azathoth...." BEYOND THE BLACK WALNUT
-----------------------
Another murderer, Thpageti-Thoth, has fled into savage Pictland. Illustrated in gorgeous Frazetta parodies, the story shows Samurai Cat's meeting with Con-Ed the Barbarian. "Amalric the East Anglian..., armored in a scale-mail corselet, was a tall weasly-looking teenager whose spiky hairdo sent orange and purple tufts up through the holes he had deliberately punched in his own helmet. His only weapon was a gigantic Wilkinson sword razor-blade with the words 'Hi Mum' written on it in crimson lipstick." AGAINST THE GODS
----------------
Tomokato's search takes him next to Asgard, as the gods prepare for the final war against the giants of the Greater Jotunheim Co-Prosperity Sphere. "Odin nodded his grimly regal head and picked up the microphone for his P.A. system. 'Attention, attention,' he began. 'This is Odin, Lord of the Hanged. Ketil Jormunreksson, report to the Throne-Room, on the double.'" This book is a must.

Summary: Pure hilarity, the height of literary humor.
Review: This is without a doubt the best book I ever bought, since it introduced me to the world of Samurai Cat. Rogers is without a doubt one of the funniest men alive. Mix creative anachronism with parody, throw in a little satire and wide reading knowledge, add a liberal dose of insane humor, and you've got Samurai cat. A must read!
