My End of Year/New Year Thoughts on. . .
The
Dragon Engine
Five war heroes
and longtime friends set out on a quest to the Karamakkos Mountains in search
of the Five Havens, long-abandoned dwarf cities of yesteryear that fables say
still contain untold wealth, and treasures possessing uncanny powers.
The thing is,
old wives tales change with the telling, and you can’t put faith in outdated
stories that might be founded, more on wishful thinking than on a modicum of
truth.
Shaky
foundations don’t stop our intrepid five, though, who learn to their cost how
quickly drunken promises and fiery resolve can turn to ash. Not long after they
set out, their quest turns into a litany of anguish and misadventure, and their
lives are changes forever.
Do they live to
tell the tale?
This is the
first Andy Remic book I’ve read . . . and it won’t be the last!
Filled with
lusty deeds; heroic drinking and feasting; villainous scumbags you’ll want to
throttle the life from; bone crunching, bloodthirsty battles; adult humor; and
language ripe enough to make a drill sergeant blush, it’s like a night out in
the filthiest dive on the wrong side of town with your Viking and Klingon
buddies.
A frothing
tankard of mead, and a well-worn battleaxe of a tale that will give you a
definite hankering for carnage on a truly epic scale.
