5.0 out of 5 stars A FANTASTIC novel! James Bond in the Twilight Zone, August 15, 2000

This review is from: The Beasts of Valhalla (Paperback)

This was the first Mongo novel I read. I picked a copy of it up at a used bookstore. They also had copies of City of Whispering Stone and An Affair of Sorcerers. I bought them all and decided to read this one first. I literally read all night because I had to finish it. I had never read such a bizarre, yet captivating story. Needless to say, I was totally hooked on Mongo and read the other two books I had bought and went in search of the others. Much to my dismay, most were out of print, so I scoured every used bookstore I could find until I had every novel. I even grabbed a couple of the Chant novels and some of the other books by Mr. Chesbro.

Of all the books, this continues to be my favorite and I've read it several times. Buy them all!

5.0 out of 5 stars AN UNFORGETTABLE, STRANGE, WONDERFUL READING EXPERIENCE, March 21, 2000

Here's a book that defies classification -- one of the most singular, entertaining novels you'll come across, concerning Mongo the dwarf detective and his hulking brother Garth. It begins a sequence of four novels that stands pretty much alone in mystery or SF, incredibly smart, stylish, weird, with characters you care deeply about undergoing the ultimate transformation, from man to animal to messiah. Read it, then try recommending it to your friends without sounding insane.

The Beasts of Valhalla by George C. Chesbro, is one of the best books ever written in the mystery genre. Basically, all of GCC's books are excellent, but this one is the best! Eerily prophetic, and timely, this book is proto x-files all the way. A must read! Also checkout "Shadow of a Broken Man." Another great novel.
