4.0 out of 5 stars Read This! It's one to keep, 3 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This is an Excellent book ! It pays hommage to the pulp fiction of the 30's, with out being limited to the sterotypes of the time. A sort of "Parapunk" (Like Cyberpunk) , this book shows that while the streets may be cleaner, they are just as filled with evil. Buy this book and it's sequel "Sidhe Devil" (Due out in late 1998].

4.0 out of 5 stars Magic and Pulp Adventure combined!, 2 May 1997
By A Customer
Stretching the boundaries of the term "Alternate History" -- in a sort of Thirty's pulp fiction, and Doc Savage in particular, way -- there's the book Doc Sidhe, by Aaron Allston. Basically, imagine Doc Savage as an elf. The Elven (or "Fair") world is much like ours (the "Grim World"). In fact, it's history is a slightly twisted copy of ours, but "running" about sixty years behind (they're in the middle of a depression, had a major war fifteen years previous, and so on). It's a fun book, and a nice homage to the Doc Savage series without being so much of a copy as to be a parody, or to be unable to stand on it's own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Engrossing, fun, and riveting, 8 April 1997
By A Customer
_Doc Sidhe_ is an incredible book. Not only does it capture the spirit of the great pulp heroes of the '30s, but it manages to flawlessly incorporate them into a world where magic and technology combine. Allston's characters are not copies of the original Doc Savage and his friends, but loving tributes, full of their own life and energy. The setting was intricate enough to resist scrutiny, but not so much that it obscured the plot. And what a plot it is! The book picked me up and carried me along, and didn't put me down until the end. And then, I wanted to read it again! If you like pulp heroes like Doc Savage and The Shadow, you'll love this book! Mr. Allston himself told me that there are plans for a sequel, and I will be looking for it with great anticipation.
