4.0 out of 5 stars Really intricate plot but the ending could have been better., April 29, 1999

This review is from: Dangerous Journeys 1: Anubis Murders (Hardcover)

Gary Gygax weaves a very interesting and intricate plot of magick and intrigue. The book kept you guessing until near the very end. However, the ending left something to be desired. It abruptly changes gears and leaves issues unresolved.

I have always enjoyed Gary Gygax's writing. This is a so so outing by him. Set in a short lived universe he created and was sued over, this book is essentially a murder mystery in a fantasy setting. The characters are a but luke warm, and the writing is decent, but the ending is bad and leaves thing unresolved. Mr. Gygax wrote two more novels in this series before the lawsuit put a halt to any further work.

This review is from: Dangerous Journeys 1: Anubis Murders (Hardcover)

A JACKAL OF ALL TRADES- A MASTER OF EVIL. Magister Setne Inhetep was badly in need of a vacation. That's why the great Egyptian wizard-priest was less than thrilled to see the three high mages before him telling him of the potent magic and heinous murders that were spreading like mad through the most elite circles of distant Avillonia. The only connection between these horrible acts of violent magic is a stauette of the ancient Egyptian god Anubis- known to all as the Master of Jackals. It is up to Setne and his beautiful bodyguard, Rachelle, to unmask the true killer behind these gruesome murders and clear the name of their revered god. As he wanders through an underground maze of secret Egyptian cults and double-crosses, Setne soon finds himself enmeshed in a diabolical web of international blackmail and trickery, fueled by a powerful, evil magic possibly more potent than his own. And when Rachelle is kidnapped and Setne is accused of treason, it will take every bit of sorcery and cunning the sardonic Egyptian has to save their lives... and to keep the world from plunging into a darkness beyond imagining...
