My fairly comprehensive review of The Return of the Sword. I hope everyone enjoys it.

Thanks for the kind words, Wes!

Bruce,

I jumped to "Valley of Bones" first last night. I enjoyed it very much. It felt like the right combination of Sharpe and The Black Company passed through your own filter.

Looking forward to more tales of Mortlock.

Cheers!

Hey thanks, Paul! Yeah, I'll admit the two series was among my inspirations. Hmm, I wonder if I should have Mortlock rise through the ranks... ;-)

Just curious how the authors are doing at getting bookstores and other people to buy a few copies from them personally?

" By this point in the book, I was figuring I should be hitting a clunker but it was not to be. While the demon sword in "Fatefist at Torkas Nahl" by David Pitchford was not the focus of the story, it was my favorite part."

I like that :)

Very nice review, Dan. I'll even forgive you for mentioning I'm your favorite Flashing Swords author, but forgetting to put my name in your review ...

Seriously, though, thanks a million!

Sorry about that. The only other review I have done I miss-spelled an artist's name! So if I do not include names I will never miss-spell them!

I have edited the reviews but it may take 48 hours for the review to refresh. If anyone goes to my myspace page I have some blogs that I wrote trying to be humorous about invading the US from Canada. I would be curious what people might think about those. (Sorry plea for readership!)

Links, Dan, please.

And posting stuff like your bolg entries in the shamless self-promo forum will get you more readers than just posting it in the FS forum.

Always with links. Please.

If you don't know how to make a link in a post clickable, pm me and I'll explain.
