Rating: Summary: A good mix a history and magic Review: I am usually not a fantasy book reader, let alone a reader of fiction. However, "The Devil's Tower" is a definite exception! The concept alone of people all over the US gaining magical powers after "Bloody Shiloh" is an original and entertaining premis.
Add to that a well written and ricly detailed story about townfolk trying to deal with villians such as Custer and Quantrill as they rampage through the west, and you have a book that is a great read.
I recommend Mr. Sumner's book for historians who like to read about alternate history and for fantasy/magic readers who might enjoy historical figures appearing in their literature.
Rating: Summary: Slam bang action with a dash of magic Review: Buy it. Read it. Enjoy it. Gritty action and magic that fits well with the western setting. An exceptional book. Anyone that ever loved a western or a fantasy novel will find something to like.
Rating: Summary: A World Fantasy Award Nominee Review: Devil's Tower has been nominated for the World Fantasy award, to be presented in London this fall
Rating: Summary: Introducing the "Six-gun Fantasy" Review: Devil's Tower is my latest book, and my best. A mixture of alternate history and fantasy, I can promise you a new experience. You can read a sample chapter and check out exclusive
background information at the Devil's Tower preview site: http://www.inlink.com/~range
Stay tuned for DEVIL'S ENGINE, due out next spring.
Rating: Summary: Highly original mix of western novel and fantasy. Review: I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up this book.
I've read alternate history before in books like GUNS OF THE SOUTH, but this book is really something different.
Instead of just nudging something in time, DEVIL'S TOWER adds a streak of fantasy to post-Civil War America.
It's colorful, original, and just plain fun.
Highly recommended!
Rating: Summary: Action, Magic & Trail Dust Review: The perfect escape for someone that's read too many fantasy novels filled with the same old quests and creatures. Mixes alternate history and historical characters with terrific, outlandish, wildly inventive plots. A story as big as the west!
Rating: Summary: Very Original. Good stuff!! Review: This book was a page turner for me. Being a fan of westerns like "Hang 'em High" & "For a Few Dollars more", it had that gritty feeling . I really enjoyed his alternative look at the west and await his next book..
I only wish there were more books of this type today
Rating: Summary: Fantastic!!!! Review: This is a great read!!!!! The combination of magic and the old West is simply fascinating, and I can't imagine it being done any better than what Sumner has created. He manages to weave the fantasy into the reality so seamlessly, you can actually imagine it happening. I love this book!!!!
