Fans of Adventure - a must read series!, 13 Sep 2004
By R. Ulisse - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Warrior's Journey (Ergoth Trilogy) (Mass Market Paperback)
I picked up this book at the local military book store, but I did not get the chance to read it until several months after I purchased it. Had I known just how good the book would be, I would have read it the day I bought it. Book 2 in the series is every bit as good as book 1, though it does not take place over the long time period, but rather over a short frame of several weeks; it is also the perfect setup for book 3 and the ending of a great trilogy.
I love the characters of the series, the irony of the events, and the visual details the authors portray. Thompson and Cook are definitely a duo that should continue writing their works together.

Here comes the Horde, 29 May 2003
By Richard Raley "Writer for Life" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Warrior's Journey (Ergoth Trilogy) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a very hard to rate novel, part of me wants to give it a lower ranking, but I think it deserves what it gets. The main problem is that it is set over a long period of time, over ten years in fact. This causes a lot of problems. For one it suffers from Villainitis and there is no clear and present villain through out the whole novel only a few minor villains that really can never be taken seriously. Also because the "journey" in the title is a life journey and not one event the novel is broken up into different adventures and problems rather than one long quest. All these adventures allow, Tol, a farmer's son, to rise to greatness in the Ergothian Empire, right up to the side of the Emperor. He defeats wizards, rebels, and battles with the mysterious monster XimXim.This is most definitely a beginning novel to a trilogy, it's leading up to the bigger story that is going to happen in the second and third novels. That being said, it does an excellent job setting that story up (should have probably stayed away from the classic Arthurian love triangle though) for what is coming. It is well written, has tons of action, a tad of mystery, and more magic than most. For those that love kender, a third of the novel takes place in the kender land of Hylo, so there are plenty of pesky kender. But still it was a set up novel, so don't expect it to be one full novel with another episode coming, it answers almost no questions, and if you can't go without them I suggest waiting until the second Ergoth volume comes out.
Final Thought: They named a monster XimXim, what's next WakaWaka?

Highly underrated trilogy, 18 Aug 2005
By Andrew Gray "Beezer Review" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Warrior's Journey (Ergoth Trilogy) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book snuck up on me. I bought it thinking it was the latest in a line of Dragonlance books that had been, as of late, sub-par. Yet, what I read was truly a diamond in the rough. I am guessing this book (and trilogy) will be overlooked by many readers.
This first book, covers a rather extended period of time. We start with a 10 year old boy and end with a man attached to a Horde. To some, this may be too long of time frame, but in the current story line it's an appropriate time lapse.
I can't say enough things about this book. It's a truly a captivating read. The story is a great mix of action and character development. I also like the fact that this trilogy covers a little know part of the creation of Krynn, that being the Horde wars.
If you haven't read this book and are a fan of the Dragonlance setting, you really should treat yourself to thsi fine book.
