Imaro

Summary: I loved this Book!
Review: I read it about ten years ago , so i'm a little fuzzy on the plot , I do remeber it being a great rite of passage story as the young Imaro progressed into manhood battling dark and evil magics, and a race of African Giants. At one point he is enslaved by the giants. The best stuff to compare the Imaro books to is Robert E. Howard's Conan series. Imaro is unabashedly a Black Conan with a flavor and vitality all his own in a richly described setting. It's too bad that the books were never reprinted because they are extremely good and deserve to be available to a wider audience.

Summary: Opening chapter of the "African Conan" saga
Review: This is a good one! So far, Saunders has written three Imaro books. Each is better than the last. He's also written short stories of a Dahomean Amazon warrior for the series "Sword & Sorceress", edited by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Saunders is one of the four real writers of African descent in the S/F-Fantasy realm; I wanna see more!
