Book Description

Publication Date: 10 Oct 2002 | Series: GOLLANCZ S.F.

"A good book, a good read, and FUN!" Vector

In Castle Midnight, where the Real and the Unreal meet, the King lies murdered and his three sons ready themselves to do battle for his throne.

But one prince is ill, possibly the victim of poison, so his loyal followers, determined to keep the prince's illness a secret, hire an impersonator.

The Great Jordan had been a great actor, but, down on his luck and reduced to the role of a travelling player, he is more than willing to take on the royal part . . . until the Unreal starts to get the upper hand.

As whole sections of the castle become supernatural no-go areas, with hallucinations and spectres as thick on the ground as traitors and spies, the Great Jordan begins to wonder if this might be his last curtain call . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars A good bit of fun 7 Sep 2002
By Ben Gash
Format:Hardcover
Blood and Honour is a fun little book, that carries you along without being too taxing. While not as slick as Deathstalker, it has a lot more charm. The action is fast paced and plentiful, with a well constructed social set up to drive the story. As with the best of David Gemmell's work the action really builds to a dramatic climax leaving you unable to put it down.
The only real weakness of this book is that it's too short. This means that there's no room for the heavy character development that makes the Deathstalker series so great, and I do feel that some of the back story could have been more fully explored. All in all I'd recommend this book as a good way to pass a bit of time. As the quoted review on the cover says "a good book, a good read, and fun!"

5.0 out of 5 stars A good book and definitely fun 17 April 2010
By C. A. Billington
Format:Paperback
I first read this book in the early 90's and it is still one of the most read books in my library - that's if my father hasn't pinched it to read! Although the outcome is not unpredictable (particularly after having been read many times) the writing always carries me along and once started I find it very difficult to put down. It doesn't take things too seriously (but is not a silly book) and is a really good enjoyable read.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read. 31 May 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
While set in the same universe as his previous "Blue Moon Rising", this novel stands equally well on its own, and is definitely better written.

The plot goes something like this: The king is dead. In this kingdom, however, the presence of a king on the throne is all that keeps the Unreal forces within Castle Midnight at bay. And in his absence, nightmares come to life. And the throne will not accept a king without the crown and seal, whose location is given in King Malcolm's will - which has gone missing...

One of the three princes lies ill, poisoned by a rival. So his supporters arrange for an actor, the Great Jordan - once a great celebrity, but now reduced to a travelling player - to take his place so prince Victor doesn't show any weaknesses before the court. A mixture of Machevellian politics, horrors, mad princes, and reluctant heroics ensues.

The main charactor, Jordan, finds himself in over his head, with treachery on all sides. In order to survive, he has to stop playing the part of a hero - he must become one.

The characters are understandable, although rarely sympathetic, and while the plot does have some unexpected twists, these are always forshadowed to some degree.

A highly enjoyable read.
