Format:Mass Market Paperback
I am new to Amazon, and delighted to find this book exists. I had a copy in the late 1970's which I lost, then when I tried to replace it, not only could I not find it anywhere but no-one had heard of book or author. I began to think I had imagined it. It is reassuring to find it is real although it appears to be a recent publication. Is it a re-issue? Furthermore I also read a follow up book whose name I can't remember (something like "KOBOLD"?) but the plot doesn't sound like any of the author's books described here!?!

Format:Kindle Edition
Don't buy the Kindle verison. Why? Because I first read this, funny and enjoyable book about 20 years ago, liked it. Over the years though, I lost the book, so was pleased to see it available on Kindle, bit cross at the price, but thought why not, as an Xmas pressie to self. The problem is that there is at least one whole section missing - there could be more, my memory is perfect, but I am sure about the missing section. So it's a lot to pay for a story that's missing a bit.
It's not a totally bad, the story still works, still holds its plot and is still jolly good fun, but if your paying attention you'll have a moment of, "what's happened there then".

I love this book. I could not put it down once I started reading. I read this when I was in High School. And I wrote a paper on "Rod Gallowglass", the hero in the book, which actually won me a scholarship to college. It combines Sci-fi and fantasy in a semi-medieval planet. This is light entertainment and a good book to introduce someone into the world of Sci-fi/fantasy.

An utter delight
I read this when it was first released and loved it. I think it's one of the books that drew me down the tracks of satirical fiction writing. Read more

A good book, provided you are not too critical.
I found this book to be interesting for several reasons. First of all, it deals with the Medieval element, of which I am personally very fond. Read more
